At 9 Months Leah is still a very easy, sweet baby. She is pretty "go with the flow" and rarely cries unless she is ready to go to sleep, and even then she will just fuss. She is great to take out and about, though she rarely falls asleep when we are out. I try to be home for her naps or at least for one of them.
Leah nurses 4x/day, once when she wakes up, once after her morning nap (around 11), after her afternoon nap (around 4) and then before bed. She is eating some table food and attempting to feed herself with her fingers too. I usually give her some of what we are eating if it is soft enough and then will finish off with one stage 2 baby food. She is starting to like almost all foods I offer her. At first she wasn't too interested in fruits but I just kept giving them to her and now she seems to eat them OK. She isn't a picky eater, but she isn't big eater either. She will eat a little and then be done. She is also taking the sippy cup good too. I give her a bit of water each meal to get her used to holding the cup. It is sometimes hard for her to hold it, but she is drinking well.
Leah is sitting up pretty good now and rolling all over the floor. She also comes up on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth and also comes up on her hands and toes (like a downward dog yoga position). She likes to chew on toys and talk. She has said the sounds for "DADA" and she makes what sounds like "yes", but in both cases I don't think she really knows what she is saying.
Her brothers absolutely love her. They are always trying to carry her. She is really just a joy for all of us.
