Holy Shiz...I have a 9 Month Old!

The basics?

Diapers - size 3, still using the generics from Wal-Mart.
Clothing - 9 month and 12 month. Even some 18 month stuff depending on how it's made!
Food - Still on stage 2 baby foods but moving to stage 3 this month.  She seems to like mashed potatoes and pasta too.
Sleeping - like a little rock.
Daycare - still ok. Hoping to get her out soon, or at least only send her part time.
Camera roll - 1125 pictures, 159 downloads
Teeth - Still just 2 bottoms so far.  Top gums are swollen so maybe they will come soon!
Words - Da Da, Ma Ma, Na Na, Ba Ba
Favorite cartoons - Phineas and Ferb, Mickey Mouse Club House
Favorite toy - $5 plastic house I got at Wal-Mart

9 Month Check-up Basics

Weight - 20lbs exactly (75%)
Height - 29 inches (95%)
Head - off the charts!

Baby Girl is as stubborn as they come and pretty much just refuses to crawl. Instead, she lays on her belly and pushes herself backwards across the floor.  She would rather stand and try to walk with us holding her.  Maybe she will skip the crawling altogether and just go right for walking?  Gah I'm SO not ready for that!

She also has a habit of sliding herself off of the couch.  If she is sitting on my lap, she will push herself away from me and slide down my legs until she gets to the floor.  It's actually quite impressive and very fun to watch.

I can happily say that Baby Girl has been healthy for a few weeks now.  No colds, no ear infections, no fevers.  It's been so nice to have a healthy baby!  Of course now that I say that she's going to get a cold.  The doctor thinks her top teeth are going to come in any day now so I'm sure I will have to deal with a fever with that.

While she's not that interested in her bouncer anymore, she does love to sit in her play area and play with all of her toys.  She usually spends about an hour each morning in her play area playing and watching cartoons.  Her favorite toy is this $5 plastic house I got her from Wal-Mart.  She takes all of the shape blocks out of it and plays with them.  She finally pays attention to the TV and she loves Phineas and Ferb!  She also watches Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Little Einsteins.

My little Baby Girl...You are growing up so quickly!
9 Weeks
 
9 Months

I can't believe how much your personality is already showing!  You are quite the stubborn girl and you can be very demanding.  You are also the sweetest little thing I have ever seen.  The way you reach for people to hold you is just so adorable and you don't seem to be afraid of anyone!

You say Ma Ma a lot more now and its just makes my heart swell.  I love hearing you talk and laugh.  You have begun to scream more as well.  Whenever you are having fun, you let out the loudest squeal I have ever heard! 

Your favorite toy is your plastic house but you really like your rock and roll toy too.  Every time you set it off, you bounce up and down to the music and it's so sweet!  You also love to play with the remote control and you reach for it any time you see it.

You still see your Nana almost every day and boy do you love her.  You do nothing but smile and laugh whenever you are around her.  Nana really loves her time with you.

Daddy calls you his little bundle of awesomeness and it couldn't be more true.  You have brought nothing but love to our hearts and we are so honored to be able to call you our daughter.  We never thought it would be this easy to be parents but you are just so easy going and happy. We have such a hard time letting you go every day and we are so excited to get back to you every night. We love you so much and we can't imagine our lives without you!

My BEAUTIFUL 9 month old Baby Girl:
 
 
Baby Girl was supposed to have her pictures taken at 4, 8 and 12 months but Mommy dropped the ball on scheduling so her 8 months photos have now become her 9 month photos and they will be taken this weekend.  I can't wait to post them! 
 
Also look for a post on her first beach trip and her first Fall festival!

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,

I'm Not Gonna Lie

Anyone who knows me know that I LOVE Christmas.  I love the decorations.  I love to decorate my own house and see all of the other cool decorations other people have.  There is a house down the street from us that always has more lights and decorations than I have ever seen in one yard.  It's a bit much but it's an attention grabber. I love the Christmas tree.  I love to get the tree out each year (yes we have a fake because I can't stand the needles) and I love to decorate it.  Growing up, our family would decorate the tree together with all kinds of ornaments that we had collected over the years.  I like to do themes for my trees.  Last year I did pink and silver in honor of the newest member of our family.  I'm really hoping to instill the tradition of decorating the tree with my kids. I love finding the perfect gifts for people and I love to watch their reactions when they open those gifts.  I generally wait until I have purchased ALL of my gifts, I sort them

Big News!

We have been trying very hard to keep this to ourselves for just a little while longer but I can't wait anymore!    Baby Miller #2...due 09/01/13!!!!!!!!! I am 8 weeks and 1 day I have known since Christmas Eve I am much more tired and much more nauseous this time around I haven't gained a single pound yet, unlike last time I am not so secretly hoping it's another girl If this one is anything like Baby Girl, he or she will be born mid-August I've been leaving hints all over the place but no one noticed! I am so excited!   I've already had one doctor's appointment but I was only 7 weeks so there wasn't much to do.  We couldn't hear the heartbeat or anything so the next appointment will be much more exciting!  My next appointment isn't until February 11th so that's when I'll get to hear and possibly see my next little monster!  So exciting!   PS:  Notice the blog title?!
