Lydia is 9 months old

 No lack of rolls on this one

Weight: Weighing in at a whopping 26 pounds! Yikes! She beats out her siblings at this age. She is one happy, big girl.

Height: 28 inches and some.

Clothing Size: Still 18 month size. Pants are tight and hard to crawl in so she doesn't wear much for pants. Onesies work perfectly!

Daily Schedule: I think it is safe to say we have transitioned to two naps a day. Very rarely will she sneak in a third nap and only if she naps on me. She wakes up around 8ish but she talks to herself in the crib for a long time so I really don't know when she wakes up. She takes a mid-morning nap and then another one in the late afternoon around 2:30ish. Most days, both naps are 1.5 hours or more. Then, she heads to bed after the big kids go to bed. She is up once a night still but eating less so that's promising. Still on four bottles a day.

Special Outings: We ventured out more this past month with Tanner having school now and a few other events. But not too much.

Firsts: She can successfully climb stairs but has been unsuccessful in climbing DOWN the stairs.

Eating: Four bottles plus whatever food I give her. She loves peas and corn on the cob. Celery and carrots too. Peaches are a fave. She still does okay with baby purees but I am tired of buying baby food so I pretty much stick to table foods.

Monthly Pictures: 

These two have a close connection. I thought Lydia was a boy during the first half of the pregnancy and was surprised to find out it was a girl. I worried about Tanner connecting with a sibling. Lydia and him are besties. Tanner is the one who can make Lydia laugh and smile so much. They get each other and seem to speak their own language.

Trying to join the big kids at the tea party.

Ahh!!! This little stair stepper has caused a few run across the house to catch her from falling.
