| I Love That Face!!! |
WOW! I cannot believe my baby girl is 9 months old! Where did the time go? I so wish it would slow down! It feels like I just had her! I mean, I am still getting used to being a Mommy! Let alone the Mommy of a baby who will be 12 months in 3 months! NOOOOO!!!!
So, yes Sloane is 9 months old and growing so fast! She actually clapped her hands for the first time on her 9 month birthday! She continues to eat well, and the teeth just keep coming! Sloane now has 6 teeth! Her personality is definitely developing on a daily basis as well. She remains a happy and loving little girl who gives the best hugs and kisses in the world, and her laugh and giggle are just infectious!
She enjoys listening to music and moving her little hands and feet to the beat. We love to see her jump around in her jumper and we are excited, yet scared and not prepared, as she begins to become mobile...scooting is happening as I type this, and crawling is just around the corner. Sigh...Sloane has not crawled as of yet, and whenever we "force" her to get in the crawl position she politely collapses to her tummy. Lol! She definitely has her own mind. Hmmm...I wonder where she gets that from? I think Mom and Dad! Lol!
She does however love to play with her new activity walker we bought for her and has pushed herself up onto her knees several times, and she can stand and hold herself up on it as well. Wow! We have come to realize that Sloane will crawl when she is ready to do so! I honestly think she will not be much of a crawler because she always goes to her feet when we try to get her to kneel/crawl, and she enjoys when we hold her up on her feet and "show" her how to walk.
Her language continues to grow and she clearly says Mom, Ma-Ma, Da-Da and Pa-Pa. I am also speaking to her in French and purchased The Little Pim Language Learning kit for her and she LOVES the DVD's! She enjoys watching them because other than that she doesn't get to watch television, so it is a big treat! I love reading to Sloane, and now I read to her in English and French. My goal is to have Sloane fluent in French before she begins kindergarten. Ash and I will actually begin our own French course in October and we are very excited!
The sleep training continues and Sloane is doing well considering her bouts with teething, along with the excitement of crawling and the introduction of new foods such as chicken, avocado and cantaloupe, to name a few. I know when she cries it is out of frustration and learning something new, but it still hurts my heart. I just pray that the day will come soon when she no longer cries when it is time to nap or go to bed for the night.
Happy Birthday to our precious gift from God. We love her more and more each day, and look forward to the joys that lie ahead in the adventures of raising Sloane.
