9 months

I can't believe my baby is 9 months old. Here are some of her newest things:

• She has 4 teeth, and loves to eat. She's just starting to eat "real" food
• She rolls everywhere, hasn't really tried to scoot or crawl
• She no longer is on zantac for reflux
• She loves her big sister, Lucy can really get her to laugh
• She loves bathtime, would stay in there for hours, she hates having her clothes changed or not getting what she wants
• She would rather drink from a cup than a bottle (done breastfeeding at 8 months)
• She is a great sleeper, at least 13 hours at night (730pm-830am), mostly still takes two naps, but doesn't sleep all the time in the morning
• She is trying to form words. She says "uh" for uh ooo, she says mmmmmmm when she takes bite, she babbles nonstop, and screeches in response to Lucy quite a bit (our house is quite loud)
• She just clapped for the first time today. She waves bye bye. She loves to playpeekabo, so big, and patty cake
• She sleeps with her brown blankie and sticks her thumb in, and is down for the count
• She gets really excited to go places and get in her car seat
• When Kady is excited she bounces up and down
• When she is really mad or frustrated you better be holding on tight, she throws her head and body back at a neckbreaking speed (no pun there)
• She loves to snuggle and love. She is the best hugger and kisser
• wearing 6-9 month clothes-but mostly 12 month. I hope for clothes sake she stays on track with Lucy
• Jim calls her the "brute" because she is quite rough and tumble...watch out Lucy

God has given our family an amazing gift! I can't wait to see how she continues to grow and develop!
