She climbs up onto everything, she likes to kneel in front of the fridge and take all the magnets off that she can reach, then she will carry them around the house. She also has been pulling herself up to the stove, dishwasher, or just the wood underneath the counter, and once she is kneeling she balances there and then she will start licking the appliance or wall. Oh my goodness, yuck, so I disinfected everything. Probably not as gross as crawling all over the floor with her hand and then sticking things in her mouth, but the licking just grossed me out.
She sure does love her green beans. She inhaled one and choked on it the other day, about scared me half to death. She coughed and was fine, but was I so ready to rip that tray off. I have had to stick my finger in her mouth to fish something out a few times now. The other day it was a little leaf, but she started gagging and then I thought she swallowed it, but then she started gagging again and so I had to pry her mouth open to get my finger in there and found the little flat leaf stuck to the back of her tongue. Why do they have to clamp their mouth shut like that.
Her is my little cutie enjoying some prunes and black beans, needed those bowels to loosen up a little more!
Rob went to Ohio on a business trip this week from Monday to Friday(way to long) and so I did not want to make some meal that I would end up eating for dinner and then lunch and possibly dinner again from the leftovers, so I bought some hoagie buns and had yummy sandwiches for lunch and a few dinners while he was gone. I also had to make something that would use up the few leftover tomatoes from our garden.
We have these nightlights that my mom gave us for Christmas one year and Julie loves to pull them out of the wall. So I just left them out and put plug covers over instead. I moved one into the dining room because the outlet was higher up and I didn't think she would be able to reach it or bother it. Well, I was wrong, she found it today and was able to pull it out of the outlet, goodness girl, I just can't keep up with her. I barely babyproof the place and now this! She is constantly on the move!
Julie has such a cute little pouty face, my family was able to witness it and it had them all laughing even though she was sad and upset, it was still funny. I was feeding her and I guess the spoon got her in the gums and hurt. But, she does not like loud noises(vacuum, bosch mixer, blowing your nose), and the other day I was making some bread so I just let Julie play on the floor while I started, once I turned the Mixer on, she got this pouty face where her bottom lip came up over her top lip and she looked on the verge of tears. Then she would proceed to crawl directly to me. You would think she would want to get away from the noise not move closer to it. Well, she wanted her mommy and to be held, so I held her for a minute while I started the bread and then stuck her in her high chair, and just made sure I was smiley and talking happy to her while the mixer was going. She still did not like it. Then, I was using our little vacuum to vacuum the tile floor before I mopped, she did okay. It was funny when I moved into the bathroom, I usually use just the hose and get down on my knees so I can vacuum all the hairs up faster and she wanted to be right next to me in the bathroom which was kind of cramped with her in their as I was vacuuming. She is just too funny. I usually vacuum when Rob is home so that he can take her downstairs and play to distract her, but he was in Ohio from Monday to Friday and so I just had to get it done.
Where did my little baby go, she has grown up!
She had been on the same schedule for quite awhile and we have changed it up just a little. She now only takes two naps and goes down to bed earlier! In the mornings I will go in and get her after Rob gets up to take a shower and then I will nurse her and then she will get a diaper change. Then she gets to sit on Daddy's lap while he eats his breakfast(his morning time with Julie) and she will eat some bread or bananas(something small) while Rob holds her. Then Dad goes off to work and Julie will go down for her first nap while I get ready. She takes about an hour and a half nap, when she gets up I will change her again and she will play until it is time to feed her again. She eats every four hours except in the evening. After I nurse her, it is lunchtime and she will get some sweet potatoes or squash with leftovers from dinner. We usually go on a walk with my mom after lunch. Then after our walk, she goes down for her afternoon nap. This nap usually is a little longer than her morning nap and I will nurse her when she wakes up. I try to have dinner ready by the time Rob would get home from work so I can feed Julie some of what we are eating and that way she gets fed at the same time we are and everything gets cleaned up at the same time. Then she will get a bottle of milk that I pumped in the morning and she will then play until bedtime. She is sleeping 11 hours at night, just an hour longer than she was. She will get clingy and rub her head in the carpet or on your shoulder when she is tired.
She is going to be 9 months on Monday, that just blows me away! She will have her 9 month checkup next week to see how she is doing!
