Nine Months...!!!

Look out, world! This girl is on the move! She has the crawling thing down like a pro, and any day now, she is going to take off walking. She already walks hanging onto whatever it is she pulls up on, like the ottoman or couch, but she is getting better at balancing, so I know it won't be long! At her nine month appointment, she weighed 19 pounds (50th percentile), has grown three inches which put her in 43rd percentile, and her head had grown a little over 3/4 of an inch, which put her in the 47th percentile. She has been saying "da-da" for a few months, but now she correlates the person with the name. I have a digital frame on the stand on my side of the bed, and last night she was watching the pictures change. When one of her and Dan came up, she smiled really big and squealed with her sweet high pitched voice, "Da-Dee!" Yes, I can appreciate the sweetness of the moment, even if it was at 2:30 this morning. ;) She loves our phones and the remote. She wants them all the time and will search them out. She has started to develop a little attitude and has had to be on the receiving end of some small disciplinary action. This age has been a little more challenging, with her discovering her new state of mobility. Scares me to death! But I know she has to learn. Love this girl so much!
