She now weighs 16 lbs 5 oz and is 26 1/2 inches long. 25% across the board. Still "small" but seems big to us! (She weighs 3 lbs more and is 1 inch longer than Maya was at 9 months.)
She is really starting to get around. SUPER close to crawling, and wanting so badly to be able to pull herself up to stand. She practices a lot when she's in the bathtub, which isn't very fun for Mommy. When we say, "Where's Brianna?" she hides her eyes with her arm and then quickly lowers it to play peek a boo with us.
She gives high fives, is a pro at handing things back and forth between herself and a willing participant, now eats only table food after making it quite clear she wants what we are eating, can drink through a sippy and a straw, understands some sign language (but not signing it back yet), and will give me whatever she has put in her mouth if I ask her to.
She loves to explore her surroundings and does not want to have cuddle time as much as I might like sometimes. She's realizing how to have a story read to her: just LOOK, don't GRAB. She sleeps through the night every night now. *Hallelujah!!* 8 PM - 6:30/7 AM.
She naps from 9 AM - 10:30 AM and 1 PM - 2:30 PM.
She adores having a big sister to play with. As you can tell from the above picture! Ha! Maya was doing "This Little Piggy" and Brianna wasn't quite sure what was going on at first.
She has a favorite item already: her blankie. We have 4 or 5 aden+anais blankets and she loves them. Every time I go get her up in the morning or after a nap, she clings on to it to keep it with her. If I take it and put it back in the crib she leans with all of her might to get it back!
Our sweet Brianna is so much fun and makes the days even more wonderful. I can't believe how close she is to one year already. I am so loving watching her grow up!!
