Nine Months Old

Whew, I can't believe it's already been a month since her last monthly post, but here we are! Crazy to think that she has been outside as a baby now as long as she was inside me while I was pregnant, so much change in such a short amount of time. She is still as happy as ever, still cutting teeth though, so we have several fussy moments and long nights, but those teeth are pretty cute. Here's what she has been up to this month...

I am nine months old now and mommy can't take me to the doctor till next month (because she made my appointment late) so I don't know how big I am, but mommy says I get heavier and heavier every day.

I am growing out of my nine month pajamas, but the twelve months clothes are still a little big on me. I still wear a size three shoe, but they're getting a little tighter. Mommy and Aunt Brittany and Grammy painted my toenails pink today though, so I must be a pretty big girl!!

I love to stand up and hold onto anything I can reach. I especially love if whatever I'm holding onto is big enough for me to chew on, I like to chew on my crib rail and the entertainment center. I like to stand up and hold onto my music table and the bookshelf.

I like my baby toys, but I especially like my brother's big boy toys, they're much noisier and much more fun! And it's ok, because he likes to play with my baby toys, so we just switch!

I am an eating machine, I eat five jars of baby food a day! I am eating some table foods now though, and hopefully once all eight of my teeth are in, I can eat more big girl food. I haven't quite figured out how to feed myself yet though, but I'm practicing! I really like goldfish crackers and teething biscuits.

Other than that, I'm the same little girl, I love to sing, especially in the car...I love my Bible class...I love my big brother and my daddy, but I love mommy best of all. I'm a sweet, happy little girl and I'm growing so big!
