Edie at Nine Months

Edie - or "Boo-boo" as she has come to be known around our house - is nine months old. She's just as sweet as can be until she takes a chomp out of your leg or arm and then laughs! She's on the move now, exploring all that the house has to offer. I can already tell that we'll have to take baby-proofing more seriously than we did with Anna.

She doesn't have much of an appetite for solid foods but we keep trying. She has four teeth with two more working their way up on the bottom. She's 28.5" tall (80th%) and weighs 17 lbs 11 oz (30th%). Her sleep patterns are still a little unpredictable although her bedtime and morning nap are fairly consistent. Poor Edie! The afternoon naps usually take place in the car or stroller or Ergo carrier - wherever we happen to be. With Anna we were so rigid with the schedule but little Edie just has to roll with it.

Anna just moved into the big bedroom with Edie so now we're figuring out the logistics of a shared room. Since Edie wakes up around 4:00 to eat I have to race in there before Anna wakes up. Every night seems to get a little bit easier.

It's been a busy month with a lot going on in the Youngs family. Sometimes I just need to sit down, breathe, and take in all the changes!

What a beautiful picture! I'm sure those are love-bites since Edie is so sweet! Now, sit down and enjoy the moments. They go too quickly.

Emmett bit me in the butt the other day! The day after he bit Gwen on the belly! These younger sibs are stinkers, heh? That's been the extent of Emmett's biting (so far), but he likes to throw things too!
