Grocery Store Helper

G is a huge help at the grocery store. She loves to hold my list for me. She is really cute. She seems so proud of herself and waves the list around. I do get lots of comments on how cute she is. The old men are always stopping to talk to her.

There are only two problems with her holding the list:
1. I must make sure her pacifier stays in her mouth otherwise she likes to eat the grocery list.
2. She gets really mad when I take it away to cross things off or check what's left. And I do mean really mad.

Poop Detector

There's that saying that everyone has a thousand ideas for a new invention every year but don't act on them. I have a brilliant one that I just need someone to figure out how to make it for me. I would like my baby monitor to have a poop detection feature. I know it sounds crazy and a little gross but bare with me.

We are in the middle of nap/sleep training (more on that later). I put G in her bed for her two hour or longer afternoon nap. Often she wakes up after 45 minutes screaming. It's hard for me to know if this is a "I'm pooppy" cry or "I don't like being in here alone" cry. If there was a poop detection feature that would make it sooo much easier.

Anyone else agree with me?

9 Months Old

How on earth is my baby already 9 months old?

Head Circumference: 18 inches (92%)

Height: 26 inches (4%)

Weight: 16 Pounds 8.8 Ounces (22%)

At her 9 month well check at the pediatrician, the doctor said she looks great and is meeting all her milestones. She did give me little lecture about not rocking G to sleep anymore unless I want to do that until she's 18. Feels like we just started getting her to sleep well, hate to have to change something in the routine. Guess we will have to make some changes little by little until we get to that point. She only got one shot today. She seemed to cry more for this one shot then all the others. 

Today also marks our dog, Daisy's birthday. We now have an 8 year old dog. G really does love Daisy and gets excited when ever she see her.

Pre-pregnancy Weight

It's official...I know weight the amount I did before I got pregnant with G. I honestly really never thought this day would arrive. Yippie!

Preschool

So hard to believe that G is even old enough for us to be discussing preschool. Nevertheless, we received G's acceptance letter to preschool at our local church. Just two days a week in the one year old class with Mrs. B (she better not leave us). We mainly enrolled her to secure a spot for her if I those to go back to working at the preschool in the fall.
