~9 Month Visit~

Today, Aylah had her 9 month well visit. I'll begin with another one of my "Mother of the Year" awards!
As you all know, we have been in Texas for the last 2 weeks and came home yesterday. Aylah's appointment was at 9:00 am this morning and today was the day she decided to sleep in...8:33 I woke up a little frazzled-knowing I had to get us all ready and out the door in 7 minutes. Well, it happened-I was successful. All of our clothes were still in the suitcase next to the bed-so I grapped sweats and a t-shirt for me and a cute little sleeveless onsie for Aylah. To my surprise it was a bit chilly this morning, but I didn't think much of it. As we walked into the Dr.'s office all the kiddos were wearing sweats and warmups-with jackets I might add. While everyone looked a little confused as to why I had this little girl in a sleeveless onsie...well I guess that's why I get the "Mother of the Year" award once again.
Other than that, Aylah is doing great! She weighs 18.6 lbs. (30 percentile) and is 29 inches long (85 percentile). She's crawling so fast now, walks the furniture and can stand by herself-but not for too long. She's a great eater and still loves those cheerios. She had her 1st banana split at Braums while we were in Texas (but don't tell anyone). She talks all the time-mama, dada, nana, baba and another other sound she can come up with are the sweet sounds I hear all day long. She loves to sing and is quite curious about everything. Aylah could play outside all day, especially if Hugs and Kisses are out there. She is a total wiggle worm,,,never stops moving-NEVER! She's such a joy. Oh, what a wonderful stage this is---love it-love it-love it! Have a great day!

I loved this stage too. It's so fun when they can move about, but aren't quite walking yet. Glad the appointment went well.
