9 months old!!

So Big....9 months old!

Hard to believe Isabelle is 9 months old now! She is constantly on the move...crawling everywhere, exploring, pulling up to everything and everyone, walking around furniture...she's a very active little girl! She is trying new foods every day but mainly still eats jar baby food. Toast is a favorite for breakfast. We give her bites of whatever we are eating. Recently, daycare started giving her more table food. Need to start doing that more consistently at home too. Sometimes it requires too much thinking from me...ha ha! She has been really fighting going to bed - always seems to get ants-in-her-pants during her bedtime routine. When she does go down for the night, she has been waking up a few times during the night. Maybe her teeth are bothering her? Sometimes she's just hungry and goes back to sleep pretty quickly after getting something in her tummy. She naps 2-3 times a day, depending on the day. About an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon, sometimes longer. Then if its a daycare day, she usually takes a short nap on the way home until its time to eat. Isabelle still loves books and being read to. She loves her music table and just loves to dance all the time! She also LOVES to do 'So Big!' She's beginning to get into things we don't want her in. We have been telling her 'no' and sometimes she seems to get it, other times...not so much.
