9 months

Taylyn has had a big 9 months.  Auntie Victoria came to visit for the weekend on the day she turned 9 months old.  They both fell in love with each other.  It was so sweet to see. 

 

 She continues to be her daddy's sweetheart.  Taylyn loves to explore so much more around her now.  She is getting harder and harder to keep still.

 I just love this picture.  Her little personality is so cute.  She will pull the funniest, cutest faces. 

 I just love that this dress still fits her.  Its a 0-3 month dress.  I adored it on her last summer!

 We have also been trying out new hairstyles more.  He hair was almost long enough for this one.  But sadly it broke a lot of her hair off so we haven't done this one again.

And awwwww the owl comparison.  She was in such a great mood to take pictures.  Which made it fun to get such great smiles. 

 She is such a mover now.  Taylyn hasn't started crawling the right way yet but she is a scooter.  And the minute I sit her down she scoots and manuvers to what she wants.  (Usually me :))

 

 
weight:  13.8 putting her in the 0 % still. 

height:  26.25 7%

Head:  16.25 2%

He was still concerned that she is still lower.  But she has been strictly on formula and solids from 8 months to 9.  From 6-8 months she was getting two bottles a day of breastmilk and the rest formula.  He wanted me to try adding in a little more formula if I can or more solids.  She spits up a lot if I give her more then 5 oz. so I have been trying to slowly give her 6 oz every few bottles.  Tay is a great eater so luckily that isn't an issue.
The dr. also heard a murmur.  He thinks it might be due to her iron being low which is making it sound funny when it goes through her heart.  But if he still hears it at her year appointment I am taking her to a cardiologist.  I have a hole in my heart and my family has a huge history of heart issues.  So this is not something to mess with. 

accomplishments:  Playing hide in seek on her own.  She loves to do this with me in the morning.  Picks up things with her fingers and everything goes into her mouth.  Tay loves to stand holding onto something but can't pull herself up to standing yet.  I love it when she kicks her feet she gets so excited.  She will kiss her babies or stuffed animals the minute you place them down by her.  AWE I know :) 

 

 

sleep:  Still a great sleeper.  Goes down between 7:30-8:30 sleeps all night until I wake her at 7:30 to go to the sitters.  Naps for 4 hours on the weekends.

cloths:  Size 3-6 months but a few 9 month items that are mostly dresses.

diapers:  size 1-2 from Costco, she is leaking from size 2 huggies.

8 months

 She is definitely getting bigger than her cute owl.  I just love looking at these comparisons.  I wish I would have done this with the boys.

Sitting up so big. 

She was so happy and smilely for these pictures I love it.

 These are some of my favorite pics of her.  She is getting so big!

 

I just loved her hair like this.  I didn't stay long but it sure was cute while it lasted.

Poor Taybug had her first ear infection this month.  She had a little cold but one Saturday she woke up from her nap and was digging at her ear.  So I took her to instacare and after cleaning out wax he thought he saw a slight infection so we got her on antibiotics and she was great in a few days. 

weight:  When she went in for her ear infection she weight 13...

accomplishments:  pat your back when you hold her and just refining her other skills.

 

sleep:  Still a great sleeper.  Goes down between 7:30-8:30 sleeps all night until I wake her at 7:30 to go to the sitters.  Naps for 4 hours on the weekends.
