Lainey Reulet: 9 months

This is a summary of Lainey's life from April 14-May 14... her 8th month of life! She is 9 months old now! And if that seems like a strange thing for me to type, its for one reason: to make it easier for me to scroll through her milestones in my phone and look at dates and see what is appropriate to add here ;-)

So the BIG thing this month is that Lainey got her FIRST TOOTH!!!! Hooray!!

And not only did she get one, but she got 2 within a day of each other!!

The other big news for the month: Lainey got herself to a sitting position on her own!

She's also decided that her monkey is HILARIOUS. She cracks up just looking at him. Which makes pictures fun... and difficult! HA!

And she's started noticing that I put stickers on her. And she's not having that. Which, again, is difficult. I know that every mom says as the kids get older that it'll be nice to be done with the monthly pics and I see why (i did them with Rhyan and Mack but not with a sticker).

Lainey also had her 9 month check up at the Dr this month. She is growing well! Here are her stats:

Height- 28 1/4" (74%)
Weight- 20lbs 9.5oz (79%)
Head- 44.5cm (66%)

At 9 months, Lainey is:

• Still sleeping great. Naps 9-11 and 1-3 and in bed by 7:30. Wakes at 7ish
• Keeping our bedtime routine of bath, bottle, bed. She almost never falls asleep at the bottle
• In a size 4 diaper all the time, now
• Still in 6-9 month clothing
• On 5mL of prilosec twice a day
• HAS TEETH!!! She got tooth "P" at 8mo 1 day and tooth "O" at 8mo 2 days
• Gets to a sitting position on her own from laying down now! AS of May 7th
• Eating solids great these days and I'm feeling much better about it! She loves to eat what we are eating! We've introduced cheerios and other small finger foods and she shovels it in! 
• Loving yogurt, green beans, peas/butter beans, etc and chicken and cheese best.
