Brenna - Nine Months

Brenna is nine months old today! I can hardly believe that much time has already passed. She is our sweet, happy baby, smiles all the time…and she’s also a total dare devil! She has no fear, and gets into everything! A couple of weeks ago we were even treated to baby’s first CAT Scan due to her pulling a heavy wooden lamp down on her head – happily, the results came back with a clean bill of health. A little trick she seems to be learning from her big sister though is to have a little bit of a temper when things don’t go her way…hmmm…not sure what to do about that one!

At nine months, Brenna is completely ready for table food; she’s so over the puree and wants nothing to do with it most times. She’s pulling up and walking along furniture, attempting to stand on her own, is mastering the real baby crawl on hands and knees, but sometimes still gets frustrated and reverts back to her Army Crawl, she is still NOT sleeping through the night, and it really just depends on the night as to whether she goes right back to sleep or decides to keep mommy and daddy up for two or three hours at a time…

We had her check-up yesterday and her stats were:

Weight: 20 lbs. 2 oz. = 74th Percentile
Height: 29 ¼ inches = 95th Percentile
Head: 17 ¾ inches = 82nd Percentile

So she’s still our big girl, but has plateaud a bit on her weight gain, which is good for mommy’s back!

Our baby girl is nine months old…and she’s definitely coming into her own personality, her own likes and dislikes, and while she is still very much a mommy’s girl, she’s more comfortable with others now too. She absolutely adores her daddy and is completely enamored with her sister, who seems to be the only one who can make her laugh without involving tickling or raspberries! Happy “Birthday” sweetheart, I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us in the next nine months!
