Abby 9 months

Abby Kadabi Gail -- Let me start by saying dear little one this has been both your hardest month and yet joyous. You have had some big changes happening that to you seem scary and painful! You have also had amazing new experiences like swinging, swimming and taking in all these new sights that bring you great joy and lots of smiles.  

Weight: 19 pounds 2 oz (50%)

Length:  29.5 inches (95%)

Clothing:  OK, this is bad but I had you in 6 month clothing!!! It was definitely getting tight by your butt (and bulky diapers) so now you are in 9 month and ever 12 month clothing.  Nine month onesies are good and 12 month pants (uuughhh finally everything is not a capri on you).

Diapers:  You are now wearing size 4 but finishing up some size 3's! 

Teeth:  YAY! You got your first tooth when we were on Vacation in the dells (8/20/16). It took a while for that little one to come in but its hear PTL.

Sleep:  This immediately made me want to make a sad sad face... I mean no I should be thankful.  You sleep through the night from 6-5 and while you don't go back to sleep you are content till about 6 in your crib most days.  You still take really good 1-2 hour naps a day and aren't ever up at night (not even a sound!). This honestly has been hard because I just am tired... but it has also given me great discipline to get up with you, be in the word with my coffee in hand and have that time before your sister is up around 6:30/7. It is a season of growth for me and well probably for you too!

Favorite Activity: You like to sit up and play with toys, you like to get your sister up in the morning and play in her crib, you enjoy going outside and having a change of scenery.. You like the stroller and the swing! 

Favorite Toy: You like to sit and play with toys.... your sisters older toys are better now than yours ;) You like toys that make noise and toys that are good to chew on (pots and pans, straws, spoons). 

Favorite thing to chew: Straws. Spoons.  Anything but a toy. 

Food:  You are eating great!  This month you had a week or so when you just did not want to eat much but I had been through that with M before and figured it was your teeth.  However, now you are doing amazing!  You LOVE to eat chunks of food (particularly bread) and are doing a lot better about "chewing" or mashing it in your gums.  Your favorite is bread, butternut squash, strawberries, banana, zucchini, and then the pouches with random fruits!  You aren't too picky... mangos this month made you sick twice so we now stay away from those!

Your schedule is --

6 - I get you you and feed you a 7oz bottle
7:30 Breakfast
8:30ish -- nap
10:30 Bottle 7oz
11:30 Lunch
12:45 Nap (you have been doing a long one here which is nice!)
3:00 Bottle
4:30 Dinner
5:45 head up and sleeping by 6:15 (for the most part unless your afternoon nap goes past 3).

Sitting up yay!!!

Bath is a lot easier now :) 

You really enjoy going in to get Mackenzie.  You light up when she is around!

Frist Grocery trip in the car :) 

Matchy matchy 


On the way home from church you just pass out its so late for you!


Chicago Botanic Garden Day!
hmmmm you did not really like this.. 

I won't ever pass up a chance at a sleeping picture of you. 


Mackenzie being silly with you!

Your sister encourages this.. which some day will come back to bite her ;) ;)

Lainey comes to visit! You think she is super fun to have around!!








 Our trip to the Dells with Grandma & Grandpa Depke!  You did well- slept well, ate ok, didn't mind the car ride till the last 30 minutes.

Your 9 month pictures





Week 3 with Lainey!



This month I took more pictures of you!  Your getting so big and are so much fun!  You really show us when you like something and then not so much.  You are really wanting to clap but not quite there yet -- soon!  We pretend you are waving because you always are moving your arms.  You are officially on the move (not crawling) but army crawling a couple feet here & there.. I am glad it has taken you this long and kinda hope the full on crawling waits a bit longer hah!

Love you Abby <3
