Kaelia - 9 Months

At nine months, Kaelia is now sparkling with personality. She claps her hands and likes to do so when her sister does something entertaining. And she waves when she is happy. She will often wave while she is eating because she gets very excited to grab her food. Kaelia is eating table foods now in addition to her baby food and formula.

Kaelia has also learned several sounds that she likes to say over and over again so she can "talk" like everyone else. She still says "ba, ba, ba" and has now added "mum," "da," "ga," and "ka" to her vocabulary. She will say "mum, mum, mum, da, da, da" repeatedly, and Taelyn has been trying to get her to say "T, T, T" along with it. Perhaps Kaelia will catch on to that soon.

Kaelia continues to motor around by crawling and cruising along furniture, and she has also attempted to stand alone. This usually lasts for about one second while she has made it four seconds before sitting down.

At this month's doctor's appointment, Kaelia measured 19 lbs., 28 inches tall, and had a head circumference of 17 inches. The doctor was very impressed with her developmental accomplishments as well.
