Ruby Caroline 9 Months


Once again, I am behind on my update!  I am going to try really hard to remember everything from my notes about month 9!

Some new things that happened this month:
  • You can go from crawling to sitting
  • You are pulling up on everything, including standing up and looking over the side of your crib!
  • Cut your first tooth!  Bottom left!
  • We bought you your first baby doll and you hug and love on it :)
  • Signing "more" and "all done"
  • You love to scrunch your face up and give us a whole scrunchy face smile!
  • You have started to point with your dainty little fingers we love so much!
  • Climbing, on everything, over everything!
  • You love to talk, and will talk to anyone and everyone!
  • One thing we were not looking forward to was your first fever!  I got called to pick you up from school because you were running a low grade fever, but it went away as quickly as it came, making me think it was teeth!

You had a little trouble sleeping this month.  I am not sure if it was an 8 month sleep regression or teeth, but several nights in a row you would wake up and only be consoled by nursing!  As hard as it was to wake up, I spent lots of time rocking you and holding you, knowing that these moments are fleeting!

Clothes and diaper sizes are the same, size 2, smallest rise in cloth and 6-9 month clothes.  Your hair is still showing signs of red!


We went to the doctor for your 9 month well visit and were told you were as healthy as can be!  You are small, much smaller than your brother was, but she wasn't concerned especially as well as you eat and nurse!

9 Month Stats:
Height - 26.75" 25%
Weight - 16 lb 10.5 oz - 24%
Head Cir - 17.14" - 49%


Ruby Cakes, 
Your smile is so bright and your eyes are full of such joy!  I wish I could bottle up everything you are doing so we can savor it forever!  We love your spunky personality and your soft snuggles.  You are our blessing from God and we cherish every new day with you!  We love you, to the moon!
Daddy and Mama
