Weight: She was 17.6 lbs (40th %) at her 9 month appointment, so over that now.
Height: She was 27.75" (50-75th %) at her 9 months appointment.
Feeding: Usually nursing around 6.30am, 10.30am, 1pm, 3.30pm, 6:00pm...DONE with the dream feed!!!! Cue doxology.
Also- I just looked back at where Owen was at this age, and he was on THREE NURSING SESSIONS a day! What?!!! Gonna drop one of hers asap!!!!!
LOVES solids. She grabs food off anyone's plate and stuffs it in her mouth whenever she has the opportunity. Obvious favorites are definitely blueberries, oranges, and cheddar cheese. She started eating meat this month- tiny bits of ground beef and chicken from my plate, plus these turkey meatballs that she now loves! I made them a couple months ago, and she spit them out-- only food to ever spit out! Ha. So I just froze them and tried again. Now she's a fan, and it's an easy way to give her meat.
Also- one of my favorite #momhacks is to give her frozen peas when she's hungry but other food isn't ready yet, or if I just need her contained while I cook. Throw some frozen peas on her highchair tray, and she's good to go for a while.

When the blueberries run out |
Milestones: She has 4 teeth now, all on the bottom! Ha. Loves standing now, but has to hold onto something, and not taking any steps yet. Moved to her big girl carseat! We also discovered she not only recognizes her name, but also responds to "pretty-face." Hahahaha. She also says "Mama" all the time now- mainly when she's upset! Ha.
Likes: Eating solids. Her brothers- she CONSTANTLY is looking for them and thinks they're both hilarious and fascinating. Being outside-- she screams if i am holding her while I grab the mail or something, because she thinks we're going outside and then we come right back in! Ha.
Dislikes: She's a lot more vocal about her dislikes these days! Getting her diaper changed, when she wants to change positions but can't (she can't go from crawling to sitting, etc, yet), the church nursery (made it 10 minutes before she lost her mind), naps.

V-Day toddler party |
Elodie is her biggest fan evaaaaaa |
Best part of parenting this age: I have LOVED seeing the boys love on her the past 11 months, and it just keeps getting sweeter. Graham constantly calls her nicknames, like "babydoll," "pretty-face," or "Auds." Presh.
Hardest part of parenting this age: This has probably been her fussiest month. She is becoming more opinionated and voicing her frustration a lot more loudly. Ha. I think she's also wanting to walk/ move more, but she can't figure it out. She's super squirmy ALL THE TIME. So funny seeing her little personality develop, and seeing her becoming more like a toddler than a baby!!! (And now I will go cry in a corner.)
