9 months old

Wow….ok, so she’s 1 day away from being 10 months but here is her 9 month post 😉

Its getting harder and harder to take your monthly photos because you are wanting to go everywhere but sit still for a photo.

Harper is a very active little girl, she loves to be up and see what everyone is doing.  She is still army crawling on her belly and loves to be in her walker so she can go all over place.

She is starting to eat more solid foods, but only crackers, puffs, breads and stuff like that.  She refuses to eat bay food or anything that is mushy or wet.  Her pediatrician gave us some tips to use to get her used to that type of food, so we’ll try those and see what happens.  She did eat a few cooked carrots and peas the other day, but not much. We’re working on it…

She still eats 7 ounces 4-5 times a day and is not waking up to eat at night.  Every now and then she will wake up at 430 or so to eat but usually its 600 or later.  She sleeps great! She usually goes to bed around 600-700 and sleeps until 700 or so, sometimes later.  She takes 2 naps now and they are anywhere from 45 mins to 2 hours in length.

This girl loves to dance and move to music…sometimes just the music in her head! 😉  She has graduated to a big girl seat in the grocery cart.  She thinks she’s big stuff!

Harper is very curious, just like her brother, Hayden, was (and still is).  She will try to crawl over to something she wants to take a peek inside…like boxes! She loves to climb inside boxes, its a good thing we get a big box of diapers in the mail every month.

We celebrated her first Easter this month and she was soo cute in her little Easter dress. Don’t let the picture fool you, the bow in her hair lasted about 5 minutes and she took it out. She was finally able to wear the bracelet my mom got her when she was born.  It has a jewel charm on it with the letter H engraved on it.

This little girl looooves to be outside.  She likes to swing in her swing and just watch her brothers.

Harper is such a sweet girl and has a fun little personality, its been so fun watching her grow and learn new things.  She still loves to be around her big brothers and see what all they are doing. Hayden loves being around her and “take care of her”.
