9 Months


Sweet Ramona girl is 9 months. Count it 9. What a blessing Ramona has been to us. We enjoy every second with her. I mean look at her - she is a comedian just like her daddy! She had such a fun time when we were trying to get her to take this picture. She thought it would be the perfect time to act like a ham. Silly girl.

She continues to amaze us with how much she is growing. She is 27 and 3/4 inches tall and 18 lbs. 13 oz. Her hair continues to fill in. She's got some curl to no one's surprise and a Ramo-hawk.

She officially crawled June 22nd. I say officially but I guess I really mean proficiently. She has been technically crawling for a while, but she's so mobile now. She also stood up for a few seconds by herself on the 4th!

She loves to say "dada". That's really all she wants to say. She can say mama, baba, yaya, nana. However she usually just sticks with dada. She loves it when Nick comes home from work. Her face just lights up when he walks in the door. She is still very much a mama's girl though.

We've had some scatted success with her sleeping in her bed. Sometimes she goes down easy and stays down until 5, 6, 7 AM. Sometimes she fights and fights then wakes up at midnight. We are getting there. I'm not stressed about it because it won't be long until she doesn't want to cuddle with us, so we might as well savor every second instead of complain and get frustrated about it.

She is very inconsistent with solid foods. She just really likes bottles and nursing, so as soon as she is still average and getting the nutrition she needs then we will just keep trying solids and hoping for the best, but not forcing the issue.

Ramona had her first out of state trip to Tennessee! She slept most of the night while we drove both to and back. She got to meet aunts, uncles, and cousins galore. It was a lot of fun.

She is a happy baby and so busy. She doesn't miss a thing. Ramona will just stare at people and take in her surrounds. Then she usually screams in delight. She laughs a lot when she is comfortable or hyper. Either way she is a ton of fun.
