9 months

Audrey is 9 months old today!

 

 {Audrey's stats}

weight:  20.6lbs (76%)

height: 27.5" (57%)

head circumference: 44cm (50%)

Audrey has been developing immensely right in front of our eyes! 

Aside from crawling ALL over the place, she pulls herself up holding on to the table, couch, wall, pretty much anything and "cruises" (walking alongside). This is such a huge step from crawling and her pediatrician informed me that it is early for her to be doing this. To me it is not a big surprise, Audrey is a STRONG girl and has been showing so for quite some time now. I expect she will be walking before she turns one years old but we will just have to wait and see!

Since Audrey has hit 20 lbs it is time for a new car seat! She will still be rear-facing until her first birthday but the new "convertible" car seat will just be turned to face forward and she will use it until about 70 lbs. I can't wait until she can face forward and be able to sit up right and see me better. It will also make it easier for me to figure out what she needs in the car. I think she will just enjoy it much better. 

Audrey has also been expanding her appetite! We have been feeding her more of the softer foods that we eat and that has been a fun experience for both her and us. She likes pancakes, bananas, mango, blueberries, steamed veggies, and cake..... yes, we gave our baby sugar. She also really likes popsicles which has been a fun treat to keep us cool in this crazy crazy heat! 

There really isn't much that this girl doesn't like and she is in a good mood most of the time. She has been such an easy baby and we are very blessed for that! I look at her and get so excited to watch her grow into a beautiful young girl.
