Trent's nine month update can be found  here

Breastfeeding: Rose nurses around 6 or 7 times a day. Usually once at night she will wake up between 12-3am. Obviously, there are times when it is difficult like when we are out in public and it is loud and she can't focus. The bond nursing has brought us is priceless though and I wouldn't change a thing. 

Sleep: Bedtime is still 7pm, but some nights Rose goes to sleep as early as 6pm! Recently, she hasn't been taking her 3rd late afternoon nap so when 5/6pm rolls around she a wreck. The only thing that calms her down is nursing and if I nurse her she falls right asleep. 

Solids: Still no teeth for my girl-- just a lot of drooling and putting everything in her mouth. Rose will take one puree pouch a day and I offer her yogurt drops when we are eating dinner, but they usually end up on the floor. 

Personality: There is no doubt of Rose's attachment to her Mama! She loves to be held by me, pull my hair and smack me in the face, haha! The second I put her down or give her to anyone she cries. Usually she can be calmed after a few minutes especially if its someone Rose knows holding her like Matt obviously or my Mom or Dad. Recently, Rose has been screaming, just like a quick little shreak at the top of her lungs. It's playful, she's not in pain or upset it is so funny to her brothers. She will repeatedly do it in her carseat and it actually hurts my ears!!
