BR at 9 Months
Brantley Rae turned 9 months old this past Thursday. I can hardly believe how fast time is flying by and how much she has grown already. She is such a joy! Chase and I are so truly blessed to have her as our daughter. We are totally in love and I can't imagine my life without her anymore.
Friday we went to the doctor for her 9 month check up. These are her stats:
Weight: 15 pounds 13 ounces (Still a little girl!)
Height: 27 1/2 inches tall
Diapers: Size 2 (I think we'll stay in size 2 for a while)
Clothes: 6-9 months mostly. 9 month pants and sleeves are still long on her but the pants actually do fit in the waist surprisingly.
Shoes: Size 3 but she doesn't ever wear them. I have a pair of Robeez and a pair of Bobux shoes that are really cute and she likes to wear them because they fit well but she can still move around good.
Naps: 2-3 times a day
Eats: Breakfast and lunch for sure and sometimes dinner with bottles in between. She's still a light eater so it's hard for me to get her to actually eat 3 meals a day and drink enough bottles. She LOVES to feed herself so anything I can fix for her that she can pick up usually makes it into her mouth and tummy. Which means that she rarely ever eats baby food anymore. She still likes oatmeal and maybe baby food fruit for breakfast but for lunch and dinner I have to think of thing she can feed herself that are easy to gum up.
Foods she likes: Chicken, cheerios, kiwi fruit, mandarin oranges, peaches, green beans, sweet peas, pasta, Gerber puffs and lil' crunchies, yogurt, oatmeal and I'm sure there is other stuff that I can't think of at the moment. She loves to drink water and juice also.
Teeth: None. I'm not even sure that she's really started to teeth yet. Sometimes she'll get fussy and keep her fingers in her mouth like her gums hurt but them other times it doesn't seem to bother her at all. We still can't see any teeth buds either. I really don't mind that she's going to be a late teether because I'm hoping that means we'll spend less money on having cavities filled once she's older.
What is BR up to these days...
-She is crawling all over the place and pulling up on anything that doesn't move and sometimes she tries to stand up on things that do move. The latter doesn't always work out so well for her.
-She's getting into everything so we're having to baby-proof more and more everyday to keep things out of reach.
-She has learned how to make a fishy face. She sucks her checks in and pooches her lips out. It's adorable! I tried to catch a picture of her doing it the other morning at breakfast but of course, every time the light flashes she would stop. Silly baby!
-She can stand in place for a few seconds. We're thinking that she will be walking my Christmas for sure. She is a super mobile baby and if her Daddy keeps working with her she'll be walking in no time. haha!
-Still takes a paci.
-Her hair is really starting to grow. Now I can put bows in it so she doesn't have to wear a headband anymore. :o)
-She has started saying "Momma" but she doesn't know that it's my name yet I don't think. She says it kinda slow and blows a bubble with her mouth. Still music to my ears!!
- She still loves to swing! In a porch swing or at the park. She is happy as a lark!
-She makes the cutest scrunchy-nose face I've ever seen. Look at it in the picture below in the middle. It's that adorable! I'm not sure where she learned. I think I might do it to her and I didn't even notice it until she started doing it. haha Like mother, like daughter!!
So that's the update on our sweet little pumpkin. She's healthy as a horse and the doctor says she perfect as she can be!! I totally agree with him! :o)
Happy 9 Months, Brantley Rae!! and
Happy Halloween to all our readers!!
BR's Owl Rag Quilt
Thursday night I finally finished Brantley Rae's Owl rag quilt I've been working on for a few weeks. It turned out better than I expected and we both LOVE it! See how fluffy it is. So great!! Once she's up and walking around in a couple of months I may try to use it as a rug in her bedroom like Ashley did with AR's. (You can see AR's quilt near the bottom of the post) Ashley's mom made Ava Reese her owl rag quilt for her 2nd birthday. When I saw it I just knew BR had to have one. haha!
So what do you think? Adorable, right? I will say that despite how totally cute it is, it was a total pain to make. Don't take on this challenge if you don't like cutting out lots of different pieces and then sewing them all together. It took me a total about about 20 hours or more to make this sweet quilt. BR better be good to it!! haha It's a rag quilt so I expect her to USE it and LOVE all over it. I'm hoping that it will be one of those things that she remembers when she's older. Love it!!

BR's New Hair-Do
We did this to BR's hair after her bath the other night. I was surprised that she even had enough to make a mowhawk with. So cute! Don't worry she won't be sporting this look outside of the house. It's not girly enough for her. hehe!
p.s. Just so no one freaks out and thinks we're bad parents. We've never actually used the blub suction she is chewing on because it's too big for her nose. ha!
