Month 9::
This month started off with an a awful sleep regression. Your Aunt Jessica warned me that this would happen, and my amazing little sleeper was all messed up the day after you turned 9 months. Sleeping 12 hour nights (maybe waking up once or twice to nurse), all the sudden you woke up at 9 hours and would struggle going back to sleep for maybe another 40 minutes and be up for the day. Sounds good to most moms, but when you're spoiled with a good sleeper, and then suddenly it's no longer happening, you don't know how to handle it. You definitely threw me for a loop!! You've had quite a busy month and changing so much it's been surprising. I thought you would be slowing down on new things, but you're always learning and doing something new. Looking forward to the next month ahead of us, but let's recap what you've done the last month...
New foods: eggs, ribs, crab bisque soup, orange juice, pizza

-we took our first trip to PA for your Aunt Lauren's bday and you did amazing (first time away from home since bringing you home from the hospital)
-you slept through the night in your pack n play on your first night away from home, when I was expecting a potential for you waking up quite a bit
-learning to feed yourself and loving it
-wanting to dance when you hear music
-you flick your lips to make funny noises
-copying people when they do things with their hands and noises they make
-you pull yourself up to stand at the couch all the time now, and you're super fast at doing it
