Nine Months

This post was written on  Oct. 10, 2015, but I am just now getting my pictures off my camera and posting it!

NINE MONTHS! What!?!?

You are 20 lb 12 oz and 28.5"

You are crawling! You've been crawling for probably 3-4 weeks now. Before you started crawling, you got on your hands and knees and rocked back and forth a lot....so you had us on edge for a while just waiting for you to start moving! It took you a couple weeks to get the crawling motion down...at first you pushed off with your left foot and your right knee. Now you mostly crawl on just your hands and knees.

You are starting to pull yourself up....you do this well in the bathtub, but haven't quite perfected it in other places.

You love stuffed animals...it's so cute to watch you hold them!

You have (and have had for a while) a love for tags. You are always trying to find the silky tag on every toy and stuffed animal and you immediately try to get it in your mouth.

You're a talkative little baby...you babble a lot and it is adorable! You've said "mama" and "mamamama" but I don't think you understand that I am mama, you are just talking! Sometimes you get really expressive when you talk by raising your eyebrows and moving your whole face up and down with your mouth. That is my favorite!

You love hair. If my hair is down, you grab it by the handfuls and try to stuff it in your mouth. If my hair is up, you pull it out of my pony tail! You also love to run your fingers through your daddy's hair when he holds you. You constantly have your hands on your head playing with your own hair - especially when you are sleepy. Grabbing your hair is a soothing mechanism for you!

Everyone comments on your fuzzy head of hair. It's very fluffy and everyone thinks it is adorable! Your hair has even gotten long enough for you to have a little pony tail on the top of your head! Your teachers at school like to do your hair at school. It's cute and fun!

You also love jewelry. I can hardly wear my jewelry around you because if I have on a necklace, earrings, or bracelet you try to grab it and put it in your mouth.

Your personality is really developing. Whenever we are out and about, you are pretty easy going because you enjoy looking and listening to all the new things you are seeing and hearing. If we are at home just hanging out, you tend to be a bit more temperamental....

You are Daddy's girl. When Daddy walks into the room, you immediately light up. He is so silly and fun with you and you just LOVE it! He makes you laugh and giggle and he loves when you cuddle with him.
