Kendall is 9 months old

Kendall Morgan: 
You turned 9 months on Saturday 7.27.13.  You are 3/4 of a year. Two hundred and seventy days old. You have been out in this world as long as you were in my belly.  I have to tell you these 9 months with you on the outside have gone by way, way faster than when I was pregnant with you. I cant believe we are 3 short months away from celebrating your FIRST birthday.  I'm glad I still have 3 months to prepare myself for that cause I'm not ready for you to be ONE yet.  I hate that your growing up so fast but I love you at this age.  You are so fun, I love your little personality, you smile at anyone that talks to you and you are still my little snuggle bug and 100% a mommy's girl!

I love you to the moon and back sweet girl

Love, Mommy



SLEEPING: This month has been a little rough.  My sweet girl you are teething and let me tell you, you and teething are NOT friends.  You are a bad teether just like your sister Keira was.  You wear your amber teething necklace and during the day it seems to help you, but when it comes to nap or bed time you just cant seem to relax and put yourself to sleep like you were before.  I'm hoping that after both your top 2 teeth come in you'll go back to sleeping great again.  You are still taking 3 naps a day and you don't seem like you'll be cutting it down to 2 naps anytime soon.  Once you finally fall asleep you do sleep pretty good, at night you'll cry out 2-3 times and I only have to give you your pacifier and you'll stop.

Here is your schedule:
7:30am - wake up and play with your stuffed animals for a bit
7:45am - get up, change your diaper and drink a bottle and then play
9:15am - you go down for a nap {1 - 1.5 hours long}
10:30am - you wake up, diaper change, drink a bottle & eat some puffs, if we have no where to go   then you'll play
12:15pm - go down for your afternoon nap {2-3 hours}
3:00pm - wake up, diaper change, drink a bottle and eat some puree and play
5:00pm - you go down for your last nap {1 hour}
6:00pm - wake up, diaper change, drink a bottle and eat some puree, play and hang out
7:30pm - bath, bottle, and bedtime story with your sisters
8:15pm - bedtime


EATING: You have become very interested in people food this month.  When you see any of us eating you will watch us like a hawk in hopes that you'll get some.  You have tried a few new people foods and are loving every minute of it.  You've tried...green beans, meatloaf, teddy grahams and crackers.  Since you do so well with chewing I'll be introducing more people food to you this month.


PERSONALITY: Baby girl you have the greatest personality ever.  You are always so happy, your sisters were happy babies but you are beyond happy all the time.  When people talk to you {strangers or family} you get the biggest smile on your face and get so excited.  Its the cutest thing.  You've also started showing your little sassy side.
