Sophie: Nine Months

Eek! Nine months old! Sophie is crawling and loves to play with her big brother and sister's puzzles. She thinks toys are so much fun, especially her Sophie giraffe and cloth books. Some new favorite foods are cheese and chicken. Sophie weighs 14 lbs 5 oz and is 26 1/2 inches long. That's the same length Annie was at nine months, and a pound less. Sophie is finally going (mostly successfully--I only get paged occasionally instead of every week) to the nursery at church. She loves to be outside and we are all ready for spring! She is wearing 6-9 month clothes and size 2 diapers.

Sophie's schedule looks something like this: Wake either around 5am to nurse and then go back to sleep or every now and then skip that feeding and sleep till 7:30am or so. Nurse, have breakfast (usually cereal, dairy, and fruit). Get dressed, play, morning outing. Nurse, lunch (usually fruit, veggie, maybe a few puffs). Nap from 1-4ish. Nurse. Play! 6:15pm dinner (veggie, protein, cereal), then playtime with Daddy and the big kids. Bath (she is not a fan of baths right now), nurse, and bed about 8pm. We have finally dropped the 10pm nursing. Sophie is finger feeding except for cereal and yogurt. And she's so cute and sweet we can hardly stand it. :)
