*She weighs 18lbs 4oz (50%), is 29inches (90%), and her head is in the 45%. I thought she was much bigger than this but her 9mo well check wasn't until 2 days before she turned 10mos so that's her official stats!
*Wearing 9 month clothes. Some pants and sleepers are 12 months for the length.
*In a size 3 diaper
*She started crawling the day after she turned 9 months old. She completely skipped the "army crawl" and went straight from rolling around the room to up-on-all-fours crawling. The "that's mine!" and "No Livy!" has officially begun...fun times.
*She has 4 teeth. Bottom two were first and then the top two came in one right after the other. She handles teething pretty well...we didn't even know she was cutting a tooth until I saw some white! Her main teething symptoms are nasty (nasty) diapers and drool.
*Her hair is finally growing out! Her hair has always grown pretty fast...it just grew in to look like a full head of hair but wasn't very long. It's still not "long" but it's now growing in length rather than just volume.
*She sleeps pretty well nowadays. She goes to bed around 6:30/7:00 and sleeps until 6:30ish. She wakes up around 4am most days to jabber, play around a bit, then go back to sleep. Bedtime is also the only time she uses a pacifier and even then she doesn't always use it, but it's in there if she wants it.
*This girl loves to eat! She has five 6oz bottles a day and 3 jars of baby food. Her favorite jars are pasta ones, especially lasagna and spaghetti...a pasta girl like her mommy. She also loves to snack on crackers, cheerios, yogurt bites, crunchies, "wheels", pizza crust, chicken nuggets, French fries, nilla wafers, pancakes, waffles, and just about anything you'll let her try.
*She loves to jabber and squeal...she's the loud one! She can say dada (her official first word), mama, byeeee, nigh-nigh (night-night), give kisses, blow kisses, give fives, clap, and wave bye.
*Your nose is a faucet. You have super bad allergies and it's hard to keep them under control. Your doctor upped your dose of children's Claritin to a full dose for a 2yr old and that seems to have helped a bit. However, if we miss even one dose, your nose immediately begins running and it takes about a week to get it to clear up. In the meantime of getting it to clear up, it causes ear infections. I hate that you have to go through this and I'm hoping you'll grow out of it?!
*Speaking of ear infections, I've actually lost count to how many you've had. Oops. I'm pretty sure we're up to 6? You had a double ear infection in the last month but the antibiotics cleared it right up. You also got the flu last month but were a champ during it!
Olivia, you are such a mess and you keep us on our toes! You are a good girl, but we can tell you are going to be the ornery one. We LOVE what you have added to this family and we couldn't imagine life without you. We love you sweet girl!
