Faith is crawling all over the place. She is also pulling herself up on furniture and walking with her little push toy. She has even mastered crawling up stairs. She is very dangerous and I can't turn my back on her for a moment.
Her top gums are very swollen, and have been for over a week. The top four teeth should be coming through any day. She has been in pain and fussy on an off as a result.
She has been sick twice this past month. The first time I ended up taking her to the doctor because she had a high fever for over three days with no other symptoms. The doctor said one of her eyes was red. It was the start of the 3 day 4th of July weekend, so rather than take a wait and see approach, they put her her on antibiotics. This was the first time she has been on antibiotics. Later in the month she was sick again with a fever and runny nose. Because of being sick and staying at Nanny and Pawka's house, she was waking up 2 - 3 times a night and getting up for the day around 6 instead of 7.
She is starting to eat a wider variety of foods, including beans (a favorite), peaches, cheese, bread, peas, broccoli, yogurt, oatmeal, chicken, enchilada casserole, spaghetti, and mac n' cheese. She is eating three meals a day. She still nurses when she wakes up at night, and before or after each nap, and before bed. Sometimes she nurses other times of the day as well.
At her 9 month check she weighed 16 pounds 11 oz, and was 27.5 inches. She has dropped way down in the percentile for weight.
