- Skills: She can pull up to a standing position and cruise a few steps. She has mastered the pincer grasp. She can help put her shirt on and is very good at taking it off, too. She can clap her hands. The funniest thing is when she plays peek-a-boo with her blanket. You say. "Where's baby?" and she'll pull the blanket over her face. She started doing this a couple months ago here and there.
- Language: "Da-da" is her first purposeful sound. Jeremy is "Da", of course, but so are a few other things. If she gets mad about something she will aim her crooked left pointer finger at you and sternly say "Zuh, zuh, zuh!" She knows what a cat is and will look for one if you ask her where the kitty is.
- Food: I still breastfeed her at night and first thing in the morning. I've stopped pumping at work, though; the squeeze wasn't worth the juice, so to speak. She is eating all kinds of solid foods now, including yogurt, cottage cheese, pancakes, waffle, bits of cornbread, and chicken. For New Year's Day we cooked black eyed peas and collard greens. She ate them with much gusto. So did Rowan.
- Clothes: She's squeezing into a few of her larger 6 month clothes, but has mainly moved on to the 9-12 month sizes. She can wear Rowan's old size 2 shoes - and they look so cute, I might add.
- Miscellaneous: Her seventh tooth has came in at the beginning of December. Tooth 8 is still working its way out. She thinks Rowan is very funny and tries to do everything that he does. At her daycare, she won't play with the boys in her age group. She wants to be with the older babies.
Raleigh has her 9-month check-up this Thursday. I will post her measurements after that.
Happy mirthday, sweet baby Raleigh!
