Tessa Joy - 9 Months





weight: 17lbs 2oz (25th percentile)

height: 27.5 inches (50th percentile)

teeth: two on the bottom

nicknames: tess, stinky, bonkers, munch girl

hates: when we tell her no, holding still to get her diaper changed

loves: feeding herself, making a scrunchy face with puckered lips when she really enjoys what she's eating, other baby's faces, playing peek-a-boo, mimicking what dad hums 

milestones: says "mama", got her first ear infection and high fever (104) on New Years day, not crawling but gets to where she wants to be by pivoting her body around and moving backwards, can click her tongue and clap her hands







tessa joy,

this last month has been so fun baby! you experienced your first christmas! you didn't like the feel of the tree, but the lights mesmerized you. you loved taking the shiny bulbs off and holding them. you're still not crawling, but you love to pivot and turn around on your tummy until you get to where you want to be. you love your babies and farm animals you got for christmas. you also love to play peek-a-boo and you belly laugh with dad during your baths at night. we rang in your first new year with a high fever and lots of snuggles. turns out you had your first ear infection. we took you to urgent care after a sleepless night and your rectal temp getting up to 104 degrees. despite your high fever and sore ears, you were still such a happy baby giving your weak little smiles between sleeping and nursing. you are starting to be quite the copy cat with noises and sounds we make. you love when dad hums because you try to copy it back. you love to look in the mirror at yourself lately and wave. your favorite books are ones that have baby faces in them as you love to smile and coo at them. you continue to amaze us every day and we cannot believe you will be turning one this year!

love,
dad and mom
