9 month stats

Our little girl has recently turned 9 months old...and has become even more fun (if you can imagine that!) I am really amazed when I look at her. I thank God so many times for giving her to us. Her little personality is just so exciting to see...she is happy and playful; inquisitive and mischievous at times; and calm and peaceful when it needs to be. David and I were talking the other day about how well she does when other people care for her. For example, we are in the process of looking for a new church home since we've moved, and she has been to so many different nurseries...without ANY problems!!! That has made it so much easier on us as well.

Here are some stats on her as of now:

-Crawling everywhere...and very fast, I might add...I don't know that I've seen a baby crawl as fast as her. Sometimes I worry about her falling on her face she goes so fast.

-Pulling up to a stand

-She is nursing just 3 times a day now

-Eating Breakfast, lunch, & dinner

-Loves the puffs and LOVES eating off of our plates. She wants everything we have. :)

-DANCING! Any time she hears music she starts dancing...even if she is nursing which is pretty funny to watch.

-Pointing her little finger...at anyone and everything. She will point to Chula and say "ooh ooh ooh..."

-She is babbling a lot. She is definitely trying to tell us something...what it is, I do not know. But she is enthusiastic about it.

-Sleeping great through the night, but she has starting waking up about 7:15 or 7:30...and if you know me, you know that this is NOT cool!!! :)

-She is obsessed with Chula (the dog).

-weighs 17.3 (25%)

-length 27.5 (between 50-75%)

-head circumference (don't remember, but she's still in the 50%)

We did have a recent "set-back" with her first bacterial infection. She was sick, sick. She started the antibiotic, Amoxicillin, and then the next morning was covered in whelps from head to toe. So...she was quickly switched to Zithromax and had a few doses of Benadryl and we were on our way again! :)

Here are a few of our most recent pictures. I do like them because I feel that they show her personality. Just havin' fun!

She has LOVED listening (& dancing) to the Christmas music, so we have it playing most all the time. We are exciting about her first Christmas coming up...and we hope all of you have a very Merry Christmas!
