9 Months Old

Dear light of my life,

9 Months Old!!! I can't believe it!!

I love you so much Chloe! I was calculating something the other day a guess what?! You were inside my tummy exactly 9 months so that means that starting tomorrow you will have been breathing and eating (somewhat) on your own longer than you were in my tummy. I know it's a strange thing to think about but I thought is was interesting. You have been such a strong girl your whole life, even before you were born.

You have grown a lot this month. You officially sleep in your crib now, which I'll admit is bittersweet. I love that you can sleep through the night but I miss hearing the sound of you breathing next to me in your pack-n-play while you sleep. You usually sleep until 7-8 am. It's awesome. I honestly am so blessed that you are such a good sleeper.







This month was your first Easter. You looked so adorable in the Easter dress that Papi got you. You also wore a pink jacket that my great grandmother made for me when I was a baby.





Eating has gotten a lot better this month. You actually like eating. You attack the spoon with your mouth, it's so funny! You still only like squash ans sometimes sweet potatoes but you make silly faces with the sweet potatoes. You drink the same amount of formula 7-8 oz. 4 times a day. You have become more independent and don't like when I feed you, you like to do it yourself. You like it best when I lay you on the floor and let you hold the bottle and feed yourself. You're such a cutie pie!





You have started to pull things off of the bottom shelf this month. I have to put all of the DVD's back where they go at least once a day.




You are growing so fast and I can't wait for the day where we can have dress up days and tea parties!

I love sweet girl!!

8 Months Old

My sweetest girl,

I love you so much honey! This last month has flown by you have grown so much!  You are becoming so independent and I am so proud of you. 

You are staring to eat a little better this month but you only like to eat squash. You won't swallow anything else I give you. You really hate sweet food, like bananas, sweet peas, or peaches.  I only hope you don't like sweets once you're older ;) You really only eat about 1/2 a jar of baby food a day. This really freaked me out at first but I know that you're just going at your own pace and I love you so much no matter what you do.

You still drink about 7-8 oz of formula 4 times a day. You take 2-3 naps a day. one at 10 am, another at 2 pm and sometimes one at 5 pm. And you go to bed every night sometime between 9-10 pm. You wake up once around 4 am, but I give you a bottle and you go right back to sleep until about 8-9.

You have also started rolling EVERYWHERE. I set you in the middle of the living room and step out of the room for a few minutes and when I get back you are almost in the kitchen. It's precious. 

Your teething has calmed down a bit so you are a lot happier than you were last month.

You really like when I read to you. You like trying to grab things inside the book. its adorable.

I am so proud to be your mommy! I love you so much Chloe. Keep growing into the beautiful girl that God has created you to be.
