9 months and Swimming Pools!!!


I loved pulling up grass to put into the pool with me!!

I LOVE MY SWIMMING POOL!!



Rayna Lynn went for her 9 month check-up on April 20th, and she is growing right along!! She weighed 18lbs 8oz and was 28 1/4 inches long! It is hard to believe that she is that big already. One 3/4 of an inch left and she'll be in a "big girl" car seat!
We have started giving her little amounts of table food. So far she's had mashed potatoes (loved), bananas (which you would have thought were poison to her), cheerios (loved) and some vanilla ice cream (loved). We have also started using some third foods, which have little chunks of food to help her learn how to chew. We have also started givng her some puffs (like cheerios) and yogurt bites. She is also drinking some water everyday between feedings, and she really seems to enjoy the change!
Rayna is standing up against everything, and scoots around the entire room now. She is actually crawling vs. army crawling, and she is getting so fast!!! She still loves talking walks, and we are taking walks everyday that the weather permits. She has started saying "da-da," so now we hear "da-da" and "ma-ma" all the time.
She got to try out her pool for the first time last weekend, and she just loved it!! She seems to love being in water, and she had a fasination with pulling up grass to put into the pool with her. I am sure that we will spend a lot of hot summer days outside in the pool.
We hope that all is well with everyone and I am looking forward to my first Mother's Day this weekend!!! Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's out there!!
