Happy New Year girl and happy nine months!
This month you are beginning to stand for longer periods unassisted, fussing when a toy is taken from you, crawling with speed, and signing and verbalizing more.
Your sleep is sporadic at best. The length of your stretches is a formula I struggle to recreate. Was it the temperature, the full belly, the full diaper, the pajamas, the bath at night, the length between naps, the stimulation during the day? If only I could solve the puzzle as to what makes you sleep often and longer. If I could master those questions I'm sure I'd be a happier me, or at least a better rested me, as would you. And so I relish the times you give me more, longer naps and fuller nights are the way to my heart.
To our delight you have also learned to play peek-a-boo, dance to music and clap to the songs we've taught you. It is oh so cute.
This month you have also started to give us the "evie smile"which includes scrunching your eyes up as you smile and engage with us. It's wonderful 'cause I know you are imitating what you see us do, absorbing and implementing is the name of your game. I can't wait to see what else you've been learning!
