A Quick Update

Long time, no blog.

There has been SO MUCH going on with our little family lately!

We officially moved into our new home and could not be more happy. No more apartment living for us! We live in a quiet, safe little neighborhood in a house that is all ours. We're like real adults now! As soon as we moved in and got settled me and my husband became obsessed with our own house projects. He works on the overall structure projects of the house (landscaping, fixing, painting) and I am constantly seeing new ways to decorate a room or how I envision everything eventually looking. It will all come together with time.

As for little miss Eisley...

Well, her 9th month has been a big one for all of us! She now has 3 teeth (working on the 4th) and has been crawling up a storm. Just like every other milestone, something just clicks one day. It started with a quick little shuffle of her knees and then the next day she was officially crawling! She is so fast now! She is also pulling up on everything! I'm quickly learning that I was not prepared for this. The living room is not 100% baby proofed yet so I'm running after her, pulling her away from things she can't have and redirecting her focus. Baby fits have become more frequent as well, due to constantly being taken away from things. Thankfully, my husband has several days off work so our goal is to get our spare bedroom and the living room baby proofed! Eisley also had her 9 month checkup a week ago and I'm happy to say we LOVE her new pediatrician! This is her 3rd (due to moving so much) and she is definitely a keeper. It's very comforting to feel connected with your child's doctor and not like you are a bother to them or their staff (like we did with her previous doctor). Miss E is 20lbs 9oz and 28 1/2 in long! She was charming everyone she met there with her smile and silly noises. We were also told to start transitioning her slowly into a more toddler diet. I cannot believe we are all ready at that point! I think we overwhelmed her poor tummy the next day because we were excited for her to start trying some finger foods. She had some pancakes for breakfast, avocado for lunch and carrots, broccoli and shredded cheese for dinner. Lesson learned, take it slower! We have discovered that she LOVES puffs! They are a great thing to use while we are eating, so she is focused in picking them up and not what's not our plate. Her pincher grip has improved so much and she's become quite the little expert at picking up small pieces of food.

I have a feeling she will start walking next month. We have this little walker/toy and she can push across the living room without our assistance anymore. This little girl is just growing up so fast! I'm excited to see what the last few months of her 1st year have in store for us!
