Nine Months Old (Eleanor’s Monthly Photo)
(I’ll be taking a photo of Eleanor sitting in the Eames rocker and wearing her pin each month until she’s two years old.)
Previous photos:
One Month Old • Two Months Old • Three Months Old • Four Months Old • Five Months Old • Six Months Old • Seven Months Old • Eight Months Old
This month I’m also including a video of Eleanor playing. Nothing terribly exciting happens, but I like to record these little moments to look back on. The dangling monkey was a Christmas gift from Ariana, and Eleanor adores it. Turns out she’s a huge fan of monkeys! My mom gave us the shape sorter a few months ago (I think she picked it up at a garage sale). Eleanor is too young to understand how to put the shapes in correctly, but we take the top off of the box and she enjoys taking out the pieces and chewing on them. Oh the things that amuse babies.






















She’s getting so big! There’s only a few weeks between our girls so I really enjoy seeing how Eleanor is progressing :)
I just love this idea. My daughter is already 13 months old, so it’s a little late to start now, but I wish I had thought of this!
I just bought the dangling monkey for my 5 month son. His nursery is monkey themed Thanks for the share!
i loooooooooooove the video and how in 1:04 she is whinnying for you and then VIOLA she figures out that she has a hand! hahaha lol and stops! lol i looove babies!

She’s too cute. Being 9 months old agrees with her.

Hello,
Ive never commented on a blog before – but I am an avid reader of your blog! She is so unbelievably cute! I have a 10 week old bub (my first) and have ‘stolen’ your idea of the photo in a chair once a month.
Congratulations on having such a wonderfully cute bubba!
:)
This is such an amazing idea and such beautiful photos — and a beautiful little girl.
How do you ever get anything done with that adorable “distraction” around?
She is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing the joys of parenthood. “Nothing terribly exciting happens” – it is all exciting to us childless readers.
She is so adorable!
I can’t believe it’s been 9 months already! She’s as beautiful and adorable as ever!
This is one of my favorite parts of your blog, which strikes me as funny since I don’t have any children of my own. But something about watching life in action is special. Thanks for sharing!
What a cutie!!!!! I love babies with lots of knees ;) She’s beautiful.
Oh what a cutie! I love babies with chubby legs! Happy 9 mo.! Enjoy her now.. she’ll be running around the house soon!
This is one of my very favorite stages of a baby’s life. I know you’re enjoying it and good for you!
She’s just absolutely gorgeous!
awwww, this is such a lovely idea. so adorable.
Soooooo lovely and what a great idea,thanks for sharing :

She’s so beautiful and I’m sorry but time is passing by way too quickly, it seems like you just had her!
She is getting so big. I looooooove your chair. Is it the fiberglass one?
*sigh* if only two thing could be true: that this time in your life would last a little bit longer (believe me–you’ll look back and wonder where the time went) and that thigh rolls would be as cute when you’re 39 as when you’re 1.
Lovely. She gets cuter and cuter in each photo and fun to see her personality in the video! Thanks for sharing.
Nicole….Eleanor is beautiful! Love these photos :)
She’s so adorable! And what a great idea!
I love it! It’s easy to forget what they were like at 9 months- My son is 2 years old now- You just inspired me to go look at all the little video clips I took of him chewing on his toys and squealing!
We wish we had pictures of us like this. She is so cute. We really like how beautiful your website is!
loving that she has a little bit of a baby faux hawk- rock it eleanor!
the corner of your couch peeking out has me curious about the upholstery- do you happen to remember what it is? i’ve got a little project…
I just have to tell you have much I love these monthly photos. I never remember the date, but when I came to visit today, I was thinking I hope it’s time for a new one. What amazing treasures to have. She is a little doll, but you already know that!
I’m so glad she likes the monkey.. she is so unbelievably cute – I can’t get over those little squeals!!
I love these photos, i hope you keep doing one every year (if not more) while she grows up!
This is so fun! I just found your blog and love that you have a little Eleanor (which is my baby’s middle name). I’ve been doing the same thing with a fun old French chair for my little girl.
Love your blog!
she’s sooo adorable..!
so sweet! love this!
