Felicity is also enjoying eating more and more finger foods. She is starting to pretty much flat out refuse the spoon lately and only wants to feed herself. It it is looking like she may be a picky eater (oh joy...) as she is pretty fickle about what she will and won't eat. One day she likes something and then the next she doesn't want it. I was pretty picky as a child as well, so I guess I had it coming. She is currently enjoying cherries and pieces of quinoa muffins and will usually always eat some cheese. We will see what she likes tomorrow!
Felicity has also officially figured out the sippy cup. She has been drinking out of one for a while now, but she would hardly get anything out. She can now drink a good amount all by herself. This feels like especially good news for us because she never took a bottle. She might actually get to be babysat now and maybe her dad and I can go out on a date... by ourselves none the less!
I think we are making our way to walking fairly soon. She has been standing without holding onto anything for about a month now. She can balance pretty well for about 30 seconds, even if the ground is uneven. She is also enjoying cruising with me around the house.
Felicity has 6 going on 8 teeth right now too. These last two have been a doozy. She was drooling like crazy, had a stuffy nose and cough and has had trouble sleeping because she also came down with an ear infection, which I have learned can happen when they are teething. She didn't have much of an appetite while she was sick either and lost a little weight. She only lost a few ounces, but we are going back to the doc in a week to make sure she gained it back because she was already in the 8th percentile weighing in at about 15 lbs at 9 months. We have a petite little girl. :)
Teeth really are awful! Eight down, how many to go?
In other family news, I am nannying part time this summer for a 5th and 3rd grader. Felicity is loving spending time with them. She just LOVES kids and thinks they are the greatest! Also, I don't believe I have written how thankful we are that Brady has a teaching job for next year!! It is a half time position high school choir job with hopes of being full time the following year. We have been praying and waiting for a job for what feels like a really long time, it has made us even more thankful to the Lord for his provision!!
See all my teeth?
Just some light reading.
SOOO BIG with my Daddy on Father's Day!
