Meredith Anne | 9 Months Old

Apparently, last month was so crazy busy (and it was) that I completely forgot to do Meredith's 8 month update, so I'm playing catch up!

Weighs: 18lbs

• She is saying Mama, Dada, & Bubba.
• She claps all the time. She loves it when you say "yay!" 
• She is eating table foods. She loves food. All of it.
• She still loves her bottle. Obsessed.
• She army crawls everywhere, and she can get to the sitting position from crawling. 
• She is still trying to figure out how to move her arms & legs to "regular" crawl.
• She is fast. Real fast.
• She tries to pull up on things she can reach, ie. her crib.
• I found her on her knees the other day. NOT OKAY. Mama isn't ready!
• She still screams a lot & very loudly. Screeching, ear-piercing screams.
• She loves to play with her big brother & sister. 
• She loves her toys.
• She still wakes up in the middle of the night for 2oz. 
• She has 8 teeth. Yes, I just said 8. We have all been miserable for the past few weeks, lol.
• She loves to give you a "kiss kiss."
• She is becoming a Daddy's girl. (They all do!)
• She takes great naps during the day!
• She is the happiest baby (as long as she has a full tummy & isn't sleepy). She is so smiley, and has such a sweet, fun personality. We love her so much! 

Meredith Anne | 7 Months Old

Better late than never?
That is my motto when it comes to the first year photo updates for my children!
Finally getting my girl's 7 month update now that she is 8 days away from being 8 months old!

Weight: Approx. 17-18lbs

• She has two teeth!
• She is finally sleeping through the night! (With an occasional bottle every now & then.)
• She loves to roll around on the floor playing with toys.
• Girl got a voice, and she likes to use it!
• She still won't say "Dada," but will say "Mama" when she feels like it. Daddy is jealous.
• She loves to give Mommy & Daddy a "kiss kiss." There isn't anything sweeter than those open mouth, slobbery kisses! I'll take'em any day! 
• She has officially moved on from puree's, and is eating big girl food from the table! (Yay!)
• She loves scrambled eggs, fish, & spaghetti.
• Girl pretty much likes anything...except banana's. Still.
• She loves to bounce...in her bouncer...in your lap...pretty much everywhere.
• She is so expressive just like her big sister! The faces she make is so funny!
• She has the silliest personality. I'm convinced she is going to be the comedian in the family.
• She loves playing with Julia & Eli, and she loves when they make her laugh!
• She can finally sit up on her own, but getting back to the belly position means throwing herself backwards. (Crazy girl! lol.)
• She loves to ride in the shopping cart like a big girl.

We love you Meredith Anne! Watching you grow & learn is such a joy! We can't wait to see all the new things you will learn next month!
