Nine Months

Weight: 17 lb. 12 oz (as of 1/21 at the doctor)

Height: Around 26 maybe (need to measure her again)

Clothing: mostly 9 months; we still wear some 6 month things

Diapers: We went ahead and moved up to size 4

Feeding: Sidney nurses (or gets a bottle) 4 times a day. She is now eating food 3 times a day. Typically she has cereal/oatmeal and some fruit in the morning, a veggie and some fruit at lunch, and dinner varies depending on what Bailey and I are eating.

Hair/Eyes: Light brown hair; fuzzier some days than others. Beautiful dark brown eyes. 

Teeth: Sidney's first tooth (bottom left) broke through on the 19th 

Sleep: Sidney is a great sleeper. Her last feeding is around 7:15/7:30 and she sleeps until 6 during the week (when I get her up). So far, she seems to understand the concept of sleeping in on Saturdays. We'll typically get up between 7:30 and 8:30 depending on what the day holds.

Fun Stuff:

-Sidney loves playing peek-a-boo

-She searches for anything she drops

-She will wave back to you

-Sidney loves her monkey-in-the-box. She gets sooo excited when the music starts and even more excited when it pops open. She starts flailing her arms like crazy!

-She will eat almost anything. She loves spaghetti! And she loves trying to chew on pizza crust.

-She enjoys feeding herself puffs, Cheerios, yogurt bites, or other little finger foods.

-Sidney is crawling! She will "rock" on her knees and then army crawl whereever she wants to go. Her favorite thing to go after is a cell phone.

-She looooves pulling her socks off and playing with them.

-She is the absolute happiest baby. Despite having the flu last week, she seemed ok most of the time. Just had times throughout the day when she felt bad.

-She likes reaching for Lula and trying to swat pet her.

-It is looking like Sidney might be a lefty. She seems to favor her left hand when feeding herself and waving. (Also, she sucks the first two fingers on her left hand instead of her thumb or a pacifier).
