Collins is 9 months!

 

Age: 9 months

Stats: 17lbs 8oz (28th percentile) 27.5 inches (50th percentile)

 

 

Clothes: mostly 6-9 month clothing but in Carters she is wearing 12 months! They clearly run small

Favorite Activities: Shopping! This little girl loves going out to our weekly daily Target runs. She also loves to dine out :)

 

 

Favorite words: MOM! MOMMA! I am loving every minute of it. She may not know what she is saying but when she needs something or wants to be picked up she starts screaming for me. Her saying momma couldn't have come at a better time either, it was something I really needed.

Least Favorite Activities: Eating. This came out of no where. She is a busy little girl and much rather be playing or going somewhere. We have been introducing more food that Marty and I are eating and one minute she loves it and the next minute she is gagging. We think she has a texture issue, however she just might be a picky little girl.

 

 

Mom's Favorite Moment: Obviously when she first started saying Momma. Now she is yelling it, and saying it constantly it makes me laugh.

Dad's Favorite Moment: Bath time. It's when Collins and I have our bonding time after I get home from work. She splashes and screams and yells and could stay in there forever.

 

 

Other Milestones: I don't know if its really a milestone but Collins is back on breast milk. We are working on her truly breast feeding but until then ill pump every 3 hours just so she gets the good stuff :)

 

 

We are just taking life day by day. Collins keeps me so busy. She is my everything, my world and I am doing everything in my power to be the best mommy that she needs right now. Its a night time when she goes down to sleep that I take my time to mourn Knox. To say it hits me like a ton of bricks is an understatement. It will already be 4 weeks on Sunday. Some days I don't even believe that he's gone other days its a harsh reality. I feel sad not only for Knox, Marty and I, but also for Collins who won't have a sibling. She would have taken being a big sister seriously :) and she does even though Knox isn't with us on Earth. I am keeping myself busy, planning her big 1st birthday party coming up, which details will be coming up shortly. We are very excited for our little girl becoming a toddler...what?! Ah my baby is going to be a big girl in a short 3 months.
