Watch Me Grow - 9 Months

3 Quarters of aYear and getting ready to celebrate my 1st Christmas!

9 Month Progress:

"Wow that looks pretty cool!" "Got my Daddy's Hair!"

Stats: 18 lb 8 oz, 28.25 inches long

(That stomach flu thing set me back a bit)!

Development:

-Cruising the set quite well--Not ready to walk yet, but stay tuned.

- Ive started climbing the stairs

- I can pick up my toys and put them in my walker--but my favorite place to put them is in the trashcan!

- Now have 2 bottom teeth.

-Pretty good at saying "Mama" and "Dada" (esp when I want to get my way)

-I drink well from a cup and hold my own spoon

Fun Facts & Other Interesting Things:

- I took separation anxiety to the next level when my Nanna & Auntie Didi came for Christmas.

But hey, I was sick..so they understood! Sorry about the dirty looks Nanna & Auntie! Sorry no pics w/ Nanna & Auntie during Christmas...never was a good picture moment! Maybe when I was asleep! I now know that family really do stick by (even when you're trippin)! I'll make it up to them next time!

-Nanna taught me to clap my hands (which I do when I want to)!

-It was a rather difficult month too-- w/ the teething, allergies, eczema & stomach flu. But we made it through it.

-My sitter was out of the country so I got to hang out w/ Mommy & Daddy more over the Holidays (which was great)! I got to sleep w/ them again when I got sick. I was so milking it!

-Then my Nanna came....she helped me get more sleep (in my crib)!

-But then she left and my Daddy's family came and I thought I would try to slip back into my old ways. But Mommy got me right back into my crib after they left! So I sleep most of the night in my crib.

-I went to 2 movie w/ my parents: Happy Feet & Pursuit of Happyness. They were happy b/c I slept thru most of the movie! They'd better enjoy it while it lasts!

"This is my push cart I use to get around and carry all my stuff in!"

"Got my first set of wheels for Christmas!"

"Had to stomp on that thing that was popping out of the book!"

"What?"

"If I roll it away really fast, maybe she won't know that I took it!"
