Hello again – it’s me, Chiara with my monthly update!

It’s been a crazy time since I turned 8 months. Being extra mobile and singing are the best. Being 9 months old has got me on Cloud 9…see what I did there? I’m already punning.

I don’t have much time because, well… I just want to go into my “bouncy room” and play. So here are the basics:

  1. I love swim – watch out Michael Phelps! I love my swim lessons so much. I can’t resist kicking and splashing the whole 45min. I feel bad for mom who has to hold me all the time, but hey… it’s her job. I love jumping into the pool and going under water. I can’t wait until I learn to hold my breath. They keep telling me to do bubbles but I don’t know what that means.
  2. I am a great climber – I climb all things I can and try to climb all things I can’t. Couches, tables, stools, boxes, cabinets, people… you name it I’ll climb it.
  3. What’s the deal with plugs? Why can’t I touch them? Every time I take off these little lids mom put on them I get yelled at and told No! Picked up and taken away. It’s so funny! Makes me smile and laugh every time. I guess one of these days I’ll be able to ask them what the deal is.

  1. Parks are so fun! Where have they been all my life?! So many kids, I love kids!! And swings, toys, sand, grass! I get to be such a good explorer. It truly is the best.
  2. Food: amazing. I mean, I’ve finally seen the rewards of persistence. Mom and dad are now letting me try some of their food when we’re out. I love it all. Give me all the food! And milk, of course.
  3. Words: I LOVE TALKING! Do you know how awesome it is?! Wooooo!! Words galore, singing, screaming, babbling, laughing, all of it is my all time favorite.

  1. I’ve been taking some steps unassisted. You probably seen videos…moms…
  2. I’ve been sort of sleeping through the night. You probably heard…moms…
  3. I’ve been told I’m 50th percentile for height (27.5in) and 25th for weight (17.4lbs)

I’m officially in equilibrium 9 months inside 9 months outside. So far, I’m loving the outside more than ever. Off to play! See ya next month.

Ps. My bouncy room is the guest room where there’s a mattress and a couch and pillows and more pillows. Chichito my bunny and eye spend lots of time bouncing, climbing and rolling around in there. It’s my cloud. My cloud 9.

Ps 2. (not the video game) – I’m getting 2-3 more teeth. It’s a pain. Literally.
