Janie is 40 weeks old today! That’s a full-term baby! It’s been almost impossible to get a photo of her sitting still next to Senor Fatty Duck Duck so I resorted to this pose instead. I guess it’s a good example of how much she’s changed this week. All she wants to do is stand up! Forget crawling! This girl is starting to cruise along furniture and I’m sure you’ve also seen her new dance moves too. This little lady should be ready for hula in no time.
Janie also had her 9-month check-up this past week and she’s starting to slim down. The doc said, “She’s back on the chart now at the 87th percentile for weight.” Janie’s also back to a good sleeping schedule. She usually goes to bed around 8 and then wakes up screaming around 9:30. I thought it was weird but I’m hearing from a good friend and our doctor that this happens when babies start moving and doing more. It’s as if she wants to rehearse what she’s learned during the day and also doesn’t want to miss out on stuff. Very interesting. Luckily, she falls back asleep fairly quickly and sleeps through the rest of the night. Whoopee! No more 1 am wake-up calls!
