Elliana Turned 9 Months Old Today!






A lot of my friends have done a great job on their blog of posting comments of things their kids can do at each age. I am going to copy them and give it a try but no promises on keeping the new tradition alive. :)
Elliana at 9 Months...
* She is trying ever so hard to crawl but really all she does is scoot around in circles
* She likes to make high pitched squeeking noises
* She laughs a lot and is SO easy to get to smile
* She FINALLY sleeps through the night! She sometimes wakes up and cries but then eventually puts herself back to sleep. I couldn't do the every 2 hours of getting up thing anymore, so that was that.
* She is eating solids, but not as good as the doctors would like. I am thinking she is just a stubborn little one and wants to eat only things she can put in her mouth all by herself. She doesn't really love the rice cereals or any jar baby food. We just give her lots of bread, noodles, crackers, and anything else we can think of that she can pick up herself.
* She puts EVERYTHING in her mouth. It looks like we have a puppy living in our house when you look at all our belongings...all chewed up.
* She likes to be outside and especially loves her daily walks with dad. She notices a lot more around her, like birds and airplanes.
* She is starting to go through a little seperation anxiety so we think, but still loves to have anyone talk to her. She ALWAYS smiles when people at the store or whatever give her attention.
* She is VERY spoiled by us and has been a little fussy the last couple months. She knows that all she has to do is make a few fussy noises and we come to the rescue.
* I'm sure she does lots more, but that is all my mind can think of right now...

Way to go on the crawling thing. You ought to get a video clip of that one. Yeah on the sleeping through the night. I am so glad for you. Apparently she wanted to skip the baby food stuff and get right to the goods. Who can blame her when you have places like Tia Rosas, Crabbas, Olive Garden, ect. She's just excited for them.

Hey! I saw your blog on Carrie's and was so excited to get to see pics of Elliana. She is so dang cute! I really want her and Holly to play. I think they would have so much fun together! I LOVE that she is still wearing the cute headbands and bows. Holly just pulls them off and eats them. Glad to see you guys are doing well!
