July 19

And another month has passed us by, bringing us just one of the cutest, most fun nine month-olds ever!  


Nine months and thrilled about it!


We've had lots of fun being a big girl.  From trying to help out with the laundry... 


...to trying to wear Momma's clothes...


...life with this little one is always an adventure!  Some of her other big events this month included her first Fourth of July and an all day playdate with our friend, E, while his parents went to a wedding.  

     

Slept through the Independence Day fireworks (thankfully!) but had a great day playing at the park!




Playing with the big boys!


Height and Weight 
Little Sweetie's nine month check-up had her official weight as 18 lbs., 12 oz., her height as 28 in., and her head circumference as 18.74 in.  She's still decently above average, but still is my sweet little baby.  Though she does eat like a horse! 

     

Food!!!

Personality
Still happy and loving, and in love with her family.  She calls out to us and is excited to see us, even her big brother, who sometimes attempts to gently play with her and other times requisitions her toys as his own.  I love seeing them play together, but also enjoy seeing the truly sibling relationship that is developing.  Brother always demands a picture of them together at breakfast.  My wish is for them to always be friends!

     



Developmental Milestones
She's starting to to figure out she can crawl on her knees and I've caught her red-handed climbing the stairs.  She's starting to cruise and uses her walker more too.  Her babbles have increased and we can discern "dada", "mama", "hi", "brother", "doggie",  and "nana" (banana).

     

Getting more and more mobile!


Fun Tidbits
Sister is loving Brother's swim classes almost more than he is!  We got her a new float use in the baby pool while we wait for brother to finish his lessons.  This float lets her "walk" in the water and she is so excited to have such mobility!  She cruises the entire baby pool with a  big smile on her face.



Good night,
