Blakesley Ann is 9 Months!

Hello 9 months!  You showed up faster than I could have ever imagined!  Blakesley got 2 teeth between 8 & 9 months -- her bottom 2 front teeth.  Blakesley was very fussy during her teething, and waking up in the middle of the night.  Blakesley is still army crawling everywhere and she is getting faster and faster!  She started clapping her hands, and is still learning baby sign language.

Blakesley loves meal time, and will try any type of table food!  I can't say she has favorites yet, but she is a great eater.  The only problem is finding the time to give her 3 meals a day.  Bfast and Lunch can be a bit chaotic to squeeze in some days.  Good thing she is really flexible.  Eating in front of her is no longer really an option.  She wants it all!

Blakesley still exclusively nurses, and does so 4 times a day.  Her typical schedule (although it seems to change a lot at this silly baby stage!) is usually :

-wake up to nurse at 5:00 AM, then she goes right back to sleep until 7:30-8:00 AM

-breakfast at 8:00 AM or earlier if we have to leave early

-Nurse at 9:00 AM and go down for morning nap

-Lunch at 11-12

-Nurse and afternoon nap sometime between 12:30-2:00 depending on the day and sisters' schedules.

-Dinner 4:30-5:00

-Nurse and Bedtime 5:30-6:00 PM

She can still be unpredictable with the teething, learning new tricks and waking up and she currently has a cold so she isn't sleeping great.  The past few nights I have been up between 3:00-5:00 AM.  To be honest, I am use to little sleep, so it doesn't really bother me all that much.  

Happy baby!
