If you'd like to check out some photos from July 4th weekend and our vacation in Ogunquit, click here.
The weather turned sour while we were in Maine so we didn't get much beach time in. Even so, Evelina had a wonderful time at the zoo and the beach, as well as spending lots of time with Grandpa. Daphne is smiley where ever we go...with the exception of sleeping in a room that isn't her own!!
After I took Daphne's 9 month photo today, Evelina wanted to partake in the fun as well. Wow!! What a difference a year (plus a month) makes!! When I was getting ready to take the photo Evelina asked, "Where's my sticker?!". Too cute :-)
9 month well-baby visits for both Evelina and Daphne. One thing they have in common? They both loved the paper on the exam room table.
9 Month Stats:
Weight: 21lbs 1oz (88th %ile) - Yowsa!! Daphne gained 5lbs since her 6 month visit...someone is clearly enjoying her solids and she has the baby chubb to prove it. Lina was about 17lbs at her 9 month visit...our little string bean.
Length: 28.5" (82nd %ile)
Head Size: 18" (92nd %ile)
Miss Daphne will consume her last bottle of mother's milk this week. Man it is nice to be released from the pump once again. Daphne was a little bit better in the nursing department than Evelina was, but still not efficient enough for it to be her primary mode of nourishment. Luckily, I had a good supply again this time around and the thought of pumping wasn't as daunting as it was the first time. Although, it was equally annoying and time consuming.
Up until a few months ago, I used the Baby Connect app to track Daphne's feedings, diapers, pumping sessions and sleep. It was super useful in determining schedules, how much I was pumping vs. how much she was eating, how much she was sleeping each day, etc. What can I say, I'm a little obsessed when it comes to documenting activities and analyzing baby-related data. The app also tallies totals by day, week and month. After my last pumping session, it was astounding to see how much I actually pumped.
Total # of pumping sessions since 10/18/2013: 970
Total amount pumped since 10/18/2013: 7002 ounces or 54.7 gallons!!!
The most I ever pumped was 6 times/day. The most I pumped at one session was 10oz. My highest producing month was January, with 1192oz pumped.
And to think, Daphne has consumed almost every last drop...well, except for all of which she spit up. She is lucky to have such a dedicated mom ;-)
I wish the app would tally how much time I actually spent pumping, now THAT is something I'd be interested to see.
