Thanksgiving is past, which means fall is here, and the holidays are close. It's going to be a busy few months. Our first seasonal outing was a trip with Crystal and Hendrix to a farm. We had bad luck and it was a crappy cold day. Luckily it stopped raining long enough to go out a pick some apples. I strapped Ellie on front of me and we went out to the fields. The apples we amazing, crisp and juicy. Afterwards I got some good Fall pictures of her with some pumpkins.
Ellie: Nine months
Weight: 16 pounds
Length: 70 cm
Eat:
She has 3 meals a day. Breakfast is the best. She always finishes her cereal, and we've moved her up to flavoured varieties. Lunch time she gets her pureed pouches which she also enjoys. For dinner I've tried to feed her cut up and mashed versions of what we are eating, but she doesn't like solid food. It has to be either something that mashes up smooth, or I can hide chunks in her puree. She has another tooth coming in on top too, so biting food will hopefully get easier.
Sleep:
Not much change. Still sleeping through the night. I'm considering stopping the dream feed.
Play:
Once a week Darryl takes Ellie to a music class at the community centre. They also have a play area and a toy library we visit on weekends. She doesn't have any favourite toys, but does like playing with her balls. They all have different textures and she likes to chew on them. Ellie can stand and cruise around the furniture. She can stand on her own for a few seconds before falling.
