9 Months Old!

Our little lovie was 9 months old yesterday!! I can't believe that in only 3 months she'll be a year!! She has been a bit impatient lately as she wants everything that's not within reach and things that are within reach she throws away from her so that she can no longer reach them. Then she gets mad that she can't grab them. She tries to pull herself towards things when she's on her belly but can't do it so she gets tired and mad. Of course she is happy some of the time though:-). Some of her favorite things to do are "dance" (sitting of course) to music, bang on things using her little plastic stacker cups, open and close her "oven" door and take toys out of it, and watch her brother Elvis and any other kids. She loves standing against things, but doesn't do it very well on her own. She took a big face plant boom the other day when Joe turned his head for just a second. She was not so happy about that! She also still loves her paci and anything else she can put in her mouth. She hasn't gotten any teethers yet. Just recently she started bouncing back and forth in her high chair so that the whole thing shakes--she thinks it's a pretty fun game, but it can make getting food into her mouth challenging! She loves seeing her daddy when he comes home at night (even though he's only home about an hour or less before her bedtime) and loves to give him big hugs! She really is a good little girl and such a blessing! It is has been so fun watching her grow and develop over the past 9 months! 1 month 3 months 6 months

9 months

I was thinking today how she is about growing out of the jeans she is wearing today...

it's about time!!! Here she is wearing them on Labor Day!! Lucky for her she has these cute little Walmart jeans in the next 2 sizes too...so at this rate she could be wearing these same jeans for the next year! :-) At least we'll get our money's worth!

I was looking at my baby book today and saw that at 6 months I was 13 lbs 12 oz and 25.75"--last month (Layla's adjusted age of 6 months) she was 13 lbs 11 oz and 25.25". Uh-oh, she's shorter than I was! Hope she doesn't end up being any shorter than me! :-) We go in for her 9 month appointment next week so I'll get her current stats then.

Belly roll (and fluffy post bath hair)!!

Double chin!!

I still sometimes like my fingers...

Turning 9 months is hard work...yawn...

She LOVES finger foods. I break up her food for her but she grabs it and shoves it in her mouth so fast that breaking it into little pieces probably doesn't do a lot of good!

If I scratch the back of my high chair with my nails is makes a funny sound!! So fun!!
