Today, we had our 9 month checkup. Everything went great – and the doc says to just keep on doing what we’re doing – YEA 🙂

Here’s the stats:

Here’s some other info about Bella we want to jot down for the record.

Drinking from a sippy cup.

Sleep:
Currently sleeping 7:30 pm – 6:30 am with two 1-2 hour naps each day. When traveling and teething, does not sleep as well – but normally a pretty good sleeper.

Activities: Crawling, Pulling Up & Creeping Along the Furniture, Waving Hi & Bye-Bye, Clapping, Jumping (assisted), Playing in the grass, Outside swing, Picture Books, Rolling Balls, Louder Musical Toys are now attractive to her – she is starting to get bored with many of her older toys – I’m going to try to find some new ones geared towards standing/pushing over the next few weeks.

Docs Orders: Start brushing teeth, Gradually introduce more finger foods as she seems ready

We have a big weekend coming up with The Raddy’s coming down for a visit! I’m sure I’ll have more pics to post next week.

Ciao!
