Emily's growth stats

I just realized that I didn't put Emmy's weight or height in the 9month update.
So here ya go:
She is 28.75 inches long and weighs 20.5 lbs. 
She is a little longer than most babes her age (90percentile) and is in the 60percentile for her weight.

What does Emmy eat?
She is still almost exclusively breastfed . We offer her real food only about 3times a week. She does not need food everyday and I want to make sure that her food doesn't replace a nursing session yet. I want to keep breastmilk her primary food in her diet during the first year of her happy life :)
I will increase her solid foods gradually to make sure solids don't become more important than breastmilk.
Her favorite food right now:
My homemade fideo (a mexican dish).   :)

What does Emmy drink?
 Breastmilk.

We don't offer juice or water to Emmy either. Juice is just "empty calories".
And breastfed babies DON'T need water! Breastmilk is almost 90% water.  Water can also fill baby up and decrease nursing frequency.
However, I do let Emmy take sips out of my cup when she is near because she always reaches for my cup. And I do give Emmy chamomile tea from time to time..usually in a cup to practice her drinking skills ;)
