CEO is 9 months!

At 9 months Clare is...
(All over the place as you can see!)

Wearing size 3 diapers and 12 month clothes.

She had a check up this month and is "perfect" her Dr says. (Duh)
Clare is 19lbs 12oz, and 28.3 inches long.

Clare is drinking 6 ounces of formula every 4 hours-ish during the waking hours.  She eats tablefood, loves grabbers, and anything in the "puff" food group. She loves pasta just like her momma, and cinnamon apples just like her daddy  She is eating three meals a day, and a snack. We have discovered organic(aka overpriced) blueberry waffles with Cookie Monster on the box!  In addition to her big girl food, Clare found the dog food this month... and liked it. (We have since moved the dogs to dine in the dining room.)

Clare takes a bottle in the morning, and before bed, but takes the rest of her formula from her Louie the Cardinal Bird sippy cup during the day.  She made the transition herself and I was not about to stop her!

 

Clare is crawling, well more like a crab/monkey looking movement, all over the place.  The child has turbo boosters when she gets caught going for something she shouldn't be.  The dogs have been getting a good daily workout running from her!

 

 

She pulls herself up to standing on the furniture, and is mastering going from sitting to standing without help too!

 

 

We are still in love with Elmo and have a new found love for Murray the monster.  He is also on Sesame Street, and red.

Clare sings all our favorite songs that we never knew we loved.  The "dadadada"song, the "go go go" song, etc.  I always tell her that whatever she is singing is my favorite song because they really are the sweetest things I have ever heard.

Clare says momma, daddy, duck(du-ck), bye, go-go-go!, and will immitate just about anything.

She has 8 teeth now, and her doctor says she thinks the one year molars are on their way.

Clare went swimming in the lake for the first time this month and loved it.  No fear!

After a good tickle fest from her dad, and a viewing of 'Elmo Sings with the Stars', she is still sleeping in her own room in her crib at night, for about 11 hours... depending on if teeth are coming. She takes an hour nap late morning, and an hour and a half nap late afternoon.

Clare has been away from her Nana's this month while she heals, and getting to stay home.  She really misses her, but is having fun while she is away.  We are all taking turns during the work week.  Her Gwennie is getting a special day with her now too which they both love!

Great month so far!
