She's 2 foot 4 and full of smiles. Irene turned 9 months old this week! Annalise designed the chalkboard for her and the little drawing the
corner is a baby next to an hourglass...through the sands of time!
She has been crawling for about 2 weeks and has pulled to a stand twice. She isn't saying anything really recognizable yet, but she says ah-da a lot when she's happy and ma-ma a lot when she's not! She waves and claps and may also sign "all done" - it isn't too far off of clapping. I've been trying to get her to recognize a few baby signs and I do think she pays attention to them, but so far she doesn't use them. That's all on the pleasant side! On the not so fun side, she is quite a screecher! My ears, oh my ears! When she is unhappy she does NOT suffer silently. She also throws her head back and sometimes falls back on the hard tile floor. I'm hoping that the unpleasantness of it will break her of that quickly!
She has adjusted very nicely to my block scheduling and it only took a couple of days for her naps to be just what I wanted them to be. I would say she's a good sleeper, but I would also say that after 4 babies your ears tune out crying quite a bit!
She is adorable!!!
