9 Months Old!

May 4, 2010

How can 9 months go by so quickly?! Every day, it hits us that our baby is no longer a little baby. She changes in looks so quickly and learns something new every day.

Crawling has been mastered - she now stands up holding onto everything.

She has gotten the taste of walking while we hold her hands - she's getting good at it quickly since she realizes how well she'll be able to get around once we're not holding her anymore!

She claps so it makes the proper "clap" noise now.

She has her favorite snacks and feeds them to herself and uses her sippy cup herself too.

She dances to everything, doesn't matter if she's laying down, sitting up or standing.

She points her finger and sings the "Dada" song often and waves when people are leaving (while singing the "Dada" song!).

She turns the pages as we read books.

She still licks the floors - embarrassingly, this happens at other people's houses too.

She's been "teething" for months, but is cutting her first tooth now. poor girl.

She still won't nap in her crib during the day no matter how deeply she's sleeping when I lay her in it ... though she'll go down at night even if she's awake a little when I put her down.

She still gets excited about her bath and now climbs up and stands naked by the side of the tub while we're filling it and lets out little excited screams. Sometimes, she pees on the floor out of pure excitement too!

There's so much more I could list, but anyone who has already raised their own kids knows how it goes. We just love her more than anything and love watching these changes every day. We couldn't ask for a sweeter little girl and couldn't be more proud!
