At my doctor's checkup I got a clean bill of health and am 20.6 pounds and just shy of 28" long. I did some serious damage to about 10 feet worth of the white crinkly paper on the exam table (I have a thing for paper products) and only cried for about 3 seconds after my one shot. I'm such a good girl!
I am a very busy little baby. I've got SIX teeth now - four on top and two on the bottom - in various stages of coming in and they are starting to show when I smile big. I'm extremely good at rolling to wherever I want to go and have a knack for rolling underneath things that make you wonder how I actually got into that position. Daddy thinks I have the ability to teleport because whenever he looks at me I'm in a different spot, usually far away from where I started. I always roll over to Bear and Milhouse to play with their fur and dog tags (I can't WAIT to chew on those)!
I'm still trying out different foods. After a few tries I finally like Cheerios. It took me a bit to figure out how to put them in my mouth, which is odd because I put everything in my mouth. I currently like to clench them in my hand and suck my thumb - oh, and I throw them and drop them randomly. Bear and Milhouse have discovered their inner love for Cheerios as well. After I get Cheerios she tries to help me wash it down with apple juice mixed with water. Clearly she's trying to poison me! It's horrible!
But I guess the biggest news is that I'm seriously working on crawling! So far I've been able to get up on my hands and knees and rock back and forth and crawl a couple of steps backward. I think this week I will work on going forward.
I am also figuring out how to clap and wave and am expanding my vocabulary by babbling lots of babbles that start with the G or B sound. I spending a lot of time trying to figure out what word will be my first. I've got a few ideas already.
And last but not least, here are my nine month pictures. I've got no explanation for the first picture of me, but everyone laughs and laughs when they see it. We had a really pretty day for once, so I got to wear my new dress and spend time in the yard. And the last one is when Kellie and her daughters, McKynnlie (3) and Evanjillie (5mo.) came to visit Mommy and me.
Keep checking out my accomplishments!
