NINE months, people. I can hardly believe it, but sister is over here just blowing us away with his "big girlness" that it seems right at the same time!! Siena turned 9 months on the 3rd and life has just been crazy busy, and this mama is tired!! I need to get this all written down before I forget!!
STATS.
I am slacking and still need to get her well baby visit done so I can update her stats as far as weight and height, but she is in 9 month clothing and has 2 bottom teeth so far!
EAT.
Siena loves to eat! She has the appetite of a teenage boy, no joke. I swear she eats as much as Noah does these days. And she WILL let you know if you have something she wants or if Noah is eating something that she also wants.
She is starting to prefer the "real" chewable foods over purees more and more!! It is so much fun trying new foods with her too. She is becoming a healthy eater as well as she loves all fruits and veggies she tries. She does enjoy cookies and things too because more times than not Noah is sharing all his goodies with her. It is crazy how we waited SO long to introduce any of those things to Noah and now because of Noah, Siena is trying it all. HAHA! Gotta love having a big brother lookin' out for ya.
She tried strawberries this month as well as pineapple and mandarin oranges (she can go ham on some oranges).
She tried out a popsicle and loved it!! She cried when it was gone.
She is still nursing and I haven't tried a bottle on her lately. She nurses 4 times a day, but sometimes isn't interested in the second feeding of the day.
She has solids 3xs a day and sometimes some snacks too!
Breakfast consists of fruit, yogurt, pureed fruits, toast, waffle, pancake or cereal (not all of these things obviously, but a combination of a few). She may only have 2 teeth but she can chew like a seasoned professional!
She likes the applesauce pouches for snacks. She also like the baby gold fish, graham crackers or any other cracker typer thing.
Dinner is usually a pureed meat and fruit, but lately she's had whole fruit like oranges or strawberries and the meat. Tonight she actually had all of our dinner! Tiny bits of grilled chicken, green beans and strawberries! She seriously LOVES food!!
SLEEP.
S still sleeps awesome! She wakes up around 7/7:30 am then takes a nap 2 hours later. She also takes an afternoon nap. She is obsessed with her bunny luvie and it is the cutest thing. She has to have it to sleep. White noise on for naps and bed time as always! Bed time is 8pm. We put Noah to bed first and then I nurse her to sleep and in her crib she goes. She wears a muslin sleep sack to bed at night. She has been doing well with holding out for bed until brother goes down since I do bed time solo on the nights Robbie works. I think it helps that she sleeps all night and then naps well. She will catch a nap in daddy's arms from time to time and he totally loves it!!
WHAT'S NEW?
More like what isn't new?! haha. But for real, miss thang is SO busy trying to be big. She took her first steps just a few days after she turned 9 months! She is walking along everything and anything and will even walk if you're holding just one of her hands. She went to the splash pad for the first time (in her first swim suit...seriously almost died from the cuteness) and LOVED it and bear crawls like a champ whenever her knees are bare. I actually think that's why walking is coming so easily. She is used to being on her feet bear crawling that that led to her standing up and balancing, and next thing we know she is taking a step or two before falling. We found an awesome park close by and she rode on the swing for the first time!!
FAVORITES.
- Her Bunny!!
- Food and trying new foods!!
- Bathtime and anything with water. Little girl is a fishy!!
- Being outside. Siena LOVES being outdoors and if Noah is in the backyard without her she is at the back window watching his every move. It's pretty funny! And if I am out there with out her then she is at the back window throwing a fit. haha
- Nursing.
- Standing up and balancing!
Each month her personality develops more and more, and the sassiness is becoming so apparent. She usually shuts down our kisses by literally putting her hand over our mouth. haha, stinker! She is starting to bat away the spoon if she doesn't want any more food or just spit it out. Again, stinker. She is into everything and we officially have a gate up in the hall way to keep her out of the family room. She will haul butt to get down then and even stop to look back at you with a grin like "yep, I'm about to be naughty". We are still waiting for the BIG belly laugh. It's crazy since Noah was laughing his head off at this age, but she growls and squeals and shows her delight in other ways. She will laugh from time to time tho. I just need that intense belly laughing session! One day!
She fell asleep in her high chair for the first time the other day and it was SO funny!! It was even better bc Noah also did that at this exact age! That was the one and only time that happened for him from missing a nap. What can I say, my kids are creatures of habit and routine!
MISS SIENA AUGUST ROSE.
Oh girlfriend, how I love watching you grow. You are determined and on the go and I love it, because you are unstoppable! It makes me so excited to see the little girl you are turning into. I love the bond we have, but also the one you have with your daddy and brother. You say "mama" when you are upset so I know I can soothe you well. I love when you cuddle into me. But you yell "DADA" all day long. it is pretty adorable!! You put up with your brother's "abuse" well and you two are starting to play together more and more! He will say "sister like me!" and he says "I be nice to sister". Makes my mama heart so happy to have you two!!
