Three Quarters of a Year!

Wow Baby, you are NINE months old! What a big girl you are!!!
Here are a few things that are going on in your world right now...

THE PHYSICAL
*You weigh 17 lbs and 13 oz (25th percentile). You are 27 3/4" tall (50th %), and your head is 17 1/4" around (50th %). You are still wearing some 9 month clothes and a few 12 month sizes (for all those curious grandmas out there).
*You are healthy as can be! You have only had one cold (*crossing fingers*).
*You pull up on just about everything, and you can STAND WITHOUT HOLDING ON TO SOMETHING for about 20-30 seconds.
*You are a speed crawler.
*You have TWO teeth on the bottom. FOUR teeth are currently making their way through your top gums--ouch!
*You can clap.
*You can wave bye-bye (sometimes).
*We can tell your hair is growing a little. We think it might be brown.
*We still don't know what color your eyes are. The doctor said they might be hazel.
*You sleep through the night *Yay*, but are a little finicky with naptimes.


YOUR PERSONALITY
*You LOVE people! You have yet to meet a stranger. You give smiles to just about anyone who pays attention to you. You will let anyone hold you. Sometimes you cry for Mommy when you are tired or hungry.
*You are attached to a tall lady in the nursery because you think she is me. At least we think that's what you think. You cry when she leaves your class.
*You sing in church.
*You are still Little Miss Independent when it comes to eating. You don't like Mommy or Daddy to spoon feed you. Luckily you can feed yourself some table foods now.
*You love bath time.
*You babble constantly. Your favorite word? Dadadada.
*You give "looks" now.
*Your favorite game is Peek-a-boo.
*You love to play with your toys, and you are fine playing by yourself for long periods.
*You think other babies are hilarious.
