10 Months-Hannah




Baby sister is ten months old!!  She is fierce and always on the move.  Hannah has quite the attitude when it comes to diaper changes and getting dressed.

Hannah wears size 3 diapers and 9 or 12 month clothes depending on brand.  She is taking 4-6 oz. bottles a day and eating 3 meals.  I have started circling items on the menu at school for her to eat.  Hannah prefers finger foods but she just can't eat enough of them to get full.  She has tried bananas, peas, shredded cheese, mashed potatoes, eggs, and maybe some things I forgot.  



Hannah sleeps from about 6:30 to 6.  She usually doesn't need me but if she does its for a paci.  Hannah recently started throwing them out so I'm using her clip at night.  She has 2 teeth but has started showing signs of getting more.  That also keeps her up so I give her tylenol or Advil when I can see a tooth trying to come in.  



Hannah naps 2x and is doing pretty good at school as well.  I still keep in her a sleep sack mainly because it detours her from standing in crib.  Plus it keeps her warm.  She is basically walking but gets too excited and falls over.  Hannah is standing alone most of the time and pushes all the toys everywhere.  



She does not like the car seat for more than a few minutes.  Hannah is too busy to stand being strapped down.  She's better if the bud is back there and even better if I am.  She is my climber.  William was never really into climbing.  Hannah can climb into his little chair and onto his table.  So scary!



One thing I want to remember is how laid back I am with her diet.  I gave her a chick fil a fry the other day and although she didn't really eat it it kept her happy while I ate.  I guess since William is such a poor eater and I didn't break one rule with him I'll break all the rules with Hannah and she'll be a great eater! (Run on sentence maybe)

Hannah is awesome and keeps all of us on our toes!  She is gonna make for a crazy Christmas because I know she'll be walking...probably climbing up the tree.

Hannah's 9 Month Checkup



Everything went great at Hannah's checkup.  She is on track with all milestones and I'm still thinking she'll walk by next month.

The doctor said introduce whole milk around 11 months and that makes me one happy mama.  Hannah hates formula so I really hope I don't have to fight her once on cow's milk.  She also drinks great out of a sippy cup and I plan to have daycare try her afternoon bottle in a sippy cup soon.

Hannah is super tall and not so chunky just like big brother was at her age.

9 Months-Hannah


          This lady has my heart!! 

   She was not impressed by our selfie!!!!

Hannah has had a tough month but I think I say that every month.  She is such a trooper through it all.  She was diagnosed with allergies to barley, rye, and oats.  

Hannah also had a fever/cold virus which kept her home with Daddy.  

She is eating 3 meals a day plus snacks like yogurt melts or gerber sticks.  Puffs have oat flour so those are out.  She takes 4 bottles total of about 26 oz but she rarely finishes a bottle. 

Hannah sleeps from about 6:30 to 6 which is exactly what the bud fell into at this age.  She naps 2x a day and sometimes catches a 3rd on weekends.  She's wearing mostly 9 month clothes with some 12 month PJs.  Hannah hates shoes and the daycare always takes them off.  We will try again in a couple of months. 



She still wears a size 3 diaper: Target brand during the day and Huggies snug and dry at night.  Hannah's hair is growing fast and she must have a pony tail or its all in her eyes.  It is still red with some blonde throughout.  Big blue eyes and no teeth.  I have given her peas and shredded cheese but she does not like it.  Hoping she likes table food more this month and gets some teeth soon. 


Hannah is pulling up on everything and has even stood alone for a few seconds. She pushes her play table across the floor.  Hannah wants to be in the middle of the fun!  She will literally jump from a crawling position onto us.  Hannah is fighting the car seat more but she is so mobile now she just wants to play.  

As you can see she was about to jump out of this chair!!

        They will be the best of friends!!
