Molly's 9 month professional pictures

 

Molly’s 9 month pictures turned out amazing!  We finally have a great family photo too!

Molly’s 10 months old

 

Molly is growing up way too fast!  

She’s crawling around everywhere and keeps us on our toes!

She loves to stand, cruise, and even lets go and free stands for  up to a minute. When she is standing on her own she will just look at you and laugh and smile like look at what I can do.

One of her most favorite things to do is waving. She will wave hi and bye to anyone even without being prompted.  She is also started to understand sign language. She is signing “more” and then loves to clap for herself. She loves handing items to people and she never wants them back. Almost as if she is already learning to share…in my dreams!

Squealing and being heard over everyone else is her by far her signature.  She talks constantly saying dada, nana and she calls her paci her “d”. And when she wants to be heard she just gives a little signature yell and laughs.

She can mimic just about any funny noise you throw her way.

Already cutting her top teeth.  Her right upper tooth is almost in.

This kid loves to eat. There is nothing that she doesn’t like eating.  She actually eats better the her sisters and brother combined.  Most mornings she can usually put away almost 2 scrambled eggs and a banana all by herself.  If you keep feeding her she will usually keep right on eating. 

First trip in a grocery cart.  I am not sure how I ever survived without cart and highchair covers.  It puts my germaphobia at bay.

I love to watch the big kids play with Molly.  Its just the sweetest thing ever.  They take such good care of her and most of the time allow her to be a part of their play.

Hey Mom just playing with big brother.

She loves playing castle and princesses

And the kitchen is her favorite even when no one else is around.

Looks like we might have some curly hair!

Napping and bedtime is getting much better.  I think it is so cute how she sleeps.  She always has to be on her left side with her feet straight out to the side.

And this is what happens when you have too much fun at Grammy’s and refuse to take a nap.  You just fall right over in exhaustion.

Our Sweet Molly Caroline!

Molly’s 9 months old

 

Molly has been a busy busy baby and has become very opinionated. She loves to stand up and cruise around and is very happy when she is standing, someone is entertaining her or her sisters and brother are playing with her. She has become very vocal and lets you know right now if she wants or needs something. She will yell l at the top of her lungs to get your attention and then when she gets what she wants she will laugh about it.

9 month checkup stats

Weight: 16 lbs 1 ounce and in the 8%

Height: 27 1/2 inches tall and in the 49%

HC: 17 3/4 inches and in the 78%

She is just a tiny bit smaller than Lila was at this age expect for her head.  Which is so crazy since Lila was premature!

At the checkup she absolutely loved the nurse. She was given one shot and then an iron test which required them to prick her finger.  She was surprisingly fine with the shot but when the nurse pricked her finger so gave her the dirtiest look as if to say “I thought we were friends”.  She just kept glaring at her.  It was really quite funny and really showed her personality.

Blowing raspberries is one of her favorite things to do. Along with mastering dada and na-na but no mama yet.

 

And this is our so excited face! Love it!

She loves waving and looking at her hand.  She always wants to say bye and waves her head and starts her famous yelling as to if she's saying bye.  Sometimes her hand gets to waving and she will look at it and study as if its moving on its own and she's trying to figure out why!

Big stuff

Always enjoys playing with her siblings!

Lila taking her for a ride

Playing princesses!

Guess who just starting crawling! She likes to use her feet to push off!

Bedtime consists of going to big brother and sisters room to read books with them. There is no putting this one down before they go to sleep she just won’t have it. She loves for mommy to rock her to sleep and mommy loves it too! She always rolls right to her side just like this and sleeps on her left side always. She has been going to bed by 9 pm and then sleeping until 8 or so.  Sometimes she will wake around 6:30 but she will eat and go right back to sleep.  Naps are another nightmare and mostly do not happen on any sort of schedule because there are too many distractions while trying to get her to sleep.  However, she naps great when we are out and about how strange is that!
