Carys Willow's Baby Blog: Happy 9 Months Carys!

Carys turned 9 months on New Years Eve!

She weighs 16lbs 3ounces... I know, she is teeny tiny! Last month she never made it to 16lbs...she hovered around 15lbs 10ounces. Sometimes I wish she would just go through a big growth spurt and put some chub on... but she is just a petite baby. She is a good eater, she just doesn't put on the weight. When I tell people her age they always say "wow, she's really small!" which can be hard for me sometimes. I don't really know why it bothers me, b/c its true... she is small. But she's happy and healthy and hitting all of her milestones, so that is the most important thing. Babies come in all sizes and Carys is just a little peanut.

I think that this is such a great age b/c her personality is really starting to blossom and she is becoming more vocal. She interacts with us more which makes play time so much more fun. She's turning into a little person!

she started crawling about 3 weeks ago, no more pull and scoot. i remember when she first started rolling around everywhere and i thought it was hard to keep up with her then... haha! well now she really is getting into anything and everything she can. she does NOT like to sit still, she's on the go all the time. oh, what will i do when she starts walking?!

well, she still isn't sleeping through the night completely, but it is getting better... i think, i don't know... i don't want to jinx it! we have good nights and bad nights, but i feel like we have more good nights than bad ones. but the bad nights are so tiring and frustrating :( it would be great if we could have all good nights. soon, i hope!

her most favorite thing to do is to pull up on whatever she can. she loves walking around the couch...getting down and then getting back up again. its what she does all day long!
