The Reynolds: February 2014

Well, as I write I am thinking about how Blakely is actually 10 months old today!!! That means I am a month behind, yikes! But...we just went to the doctor on Monday and I wanted to wait until we had her "official" weight and height before I wrote the blog post (yep that's my story and I'm sticking to it!).

This past month Blakely had an episode of RSV. It was so miserable for her and I pray that she never has it again. We pulled the old handy swing back out (at the advice of the pediatrician) so that she could sleep upright. Girlfriend is going to bed most nights at 6:30! It's great for mommy and daddy time, but it means we don't go many places at night. Blakely wakes up with the sweetest smile on her face and those first 5 minutes of morning snuggles are the best part of my day. I just love this little girl absolutely to pieces!

So, at 9 months:

~Blakely weighs 19 lbs. (she actually lost a little due to nasty RSV) ( 50th %)
~She is 28 3/4 tall (75th%)
~ Blakely is beginning to wear more 12 month clothes for the length, but wears mostly 9 month clothes.
~ She wears size 3 diapers (new mommies reading this--this is the size I would stock up on! :))
~ She is eating many more whole foods (loves potatoes and zucchini, mangoes, oatmeal, baby goldfish, carrots and so many other things)
~ Blakely drinks around 24 oz. of formula
~She is pulling up and walking around on furniture almost as much as she is crawling
~She pushes her puppy and other walking toys.
~Blakely experienced her first snow this month!
~ She loves her cousin Penelope! They chatter, chatter! She went to Penelope's first birthday party this month!
~Blakely does not like for you to leave the room. She has to know where you are at all times!

Since she is 10 months today, I will share some pictures soon! We are looking forward to her first Valentine's Day in just a few days. We surely do LOVE this sweet baby girl!
