9 Months

Brielle is growing so fast and is all of the place. Her 9 month stats:

14 lbs 10 oz - 3%
28" - 60%

We thought for sure she would be walking by now, but she is SO fast at crawling she doesn't really care to walk. But she does love to pull herself up on everything and cruise the furniture. She is the happiest baby and still rarely cries. She has 2 bottom teeth and is starting to get her 2 side teeth on the top. As for her health issues, we are still trying to figure them out. She continues to have stomach cramps ALL night long and she has a hard time sleeping through them...so I end up holding her back to sleep constantly. It's really sad to see her struggle and not know how to help her. The dr is pretty sure she has Celiacs as well as a sensitivity to dairy. Unfortunately there isn't any sure way of knowing until she is old enough to have a biopsy done of her intestine, so for now it is experimenting to see if we can stop the cramping. We tried really hard to get her on a dairy free formula, but she wouldn't even go near it (it is really nasty.) So that means until I can wean her I am eating dairy and gluten free. She also is still really sensitive to tomatoes and onions...so that leaves me with very little to eat. But at this point I would rather sleep than eat so we are making it work. I just went off the gluten 2 weeks ago and started her back on her reflux medicine this week so we are hoping to see some improvements very soon. It has been a really long 4 month...

She keeps getting bigger and you keep getting smaller. :/
