Well, I did it again.
I let another 3 months pass without blogging.
I feel terrible about, especially considering I’m always staying up to date with other families/people’s blogs.
This update will mainly be a list of things to remember/update on Kamryn’s latest and then another post for pictures : )
Kamryn’s Likes/Dislikes:
Giggles none stop
Talks all the time
Has this really cute shy look, especially when she meets new people or someone she’s adjusting to
Plays independently very well. She has been quite clingy to me lately (only me, not Keith) and will play wonderful by herself or let him walk out of the room. But if Mom trys that….no way!
Will walk all over the entire house if you hold her hands
VERY ticklish
Just started 9/14/10) to make serious attempts at crawling by 9/17/10 she was already crawling down the hall and all over the house
Hates sippy cups. Any kind. Which is particularly bad since Pediatrician wants us to wean her off the bottle by 12 months.
Seems to be weaning herself off of the bottle. Problem is, she’s then not getting enough formula in her diet to provide proper nutrition.
Absolutely loves her pacifier (paci). 99% of the time she can and will find the paci and put it in her mouth when she feels she needs it.
Thinks she is hot stuff when she is holding her own bottle, feeding herself, or doing anything she feels is independent
Can wave Bye-Bye on command, working on Hello now
Gives High-5’s every once in a while when asked, still working on that and starting to work on blowing kisses
Loves Eskimo kisses with Mommy
Smiles from the moment she wakes till she goes to bed.
Pulled herself into a standing position with no help/support from us (9/26/10)
Loves to go shopping
discovered a new sound to make (very similiar to Chewbacca (spl?)) and makes the noise constantly!!
Feeding schedule:
Weekdays –
6am - We wake her up. She’ll eat between 2-4 oz of a bottle.
8am – preschool feeds her 2-4oz cereal and a stage 2 jar of fruit
12noon – 2-4 oz cereal, and stage 2 jar of veggies, and if still hungry (usually is) another jar of fruit.
5pm – 2-4 oz cereal, and stage 2 jar of veggies, and if still hungry (usually is) another jar of fruit.
8-9pm – we try to give her a 4oz bottle before bed, rarely will she drink more than 2 oz. All she wants is her paci and to be laid down in her bed with her Ubby (special blanky).
Weekends are pretty much the same except we let her (and us) wake up without an alarm clock. She sleeps in until anywhere between 7-9am.

Basically, any jar of food I’ve ever bought she’s eaten (except peaches & the plain meat ones), plus we give her tiny pieces off of our plates as well.
Didn’t like:
Watermelon
“raw” zucchini
Peaches – the baby food jarred ones, or fresh peaches.
Baby food jars of only meat, she will eat the mixed ones (i.e. chicken and noodles, turkey and rice, etc.)
Not a big fan of beef, yet
Kamryn has been fighting ear infections since birth. It seems like as soon as we get rid of one, another one shows up. After many antibiotics and even antibiotic shots, we have to go see the Ear Nose and Throat doctor to discuss tubes. That appointment is coming up this month. Please say some extra prayers that if she has to have tubes that everything works out fine. (update: Kamryn will be having tube surgery on Oct 5 @ 7:30am)
At her nine month well baby visit, she weighed 17lbs 6oz and was 28.5 inches long.
God Bless,
Jess
