9 months !

Man oh man was this month a big one for her:) she is just growing and doing so many things- it is crazy! she's such a little person now:) We are having so much fun with her.  *our photo shoot went much differently now that she is highly mobile:) * 

crawling behind the chair 

emptying toy basket

playing in her closet

opening her drawers

playing with jax 

to the bathroom

"what no bath?!?!"

around the stair case

daddy woke up and helped make her sit still! 

weight/height: she weights 18lbs 9 oz (44%), 27 3/4 inches long (56%) and 44 1/2 cm OFC (65% 

size: she is in mostly 9 month clothes, but still some 6-9. wearing size 3 Pampers Cruisers. 

nicknames: beanie, monster, big girl, stinker  physical: her hair is getting long on the sides and in the back. she still has blue eyes and long eyelashes.  still just two teeth! 

eating: we can now add eggplant, cheerios, apple/ginger cookies and water in a sippy cup. small pieces of table food from mom and dad's plate:) for Halloween she also had a taste of her first sucker. and if she isn't hungry, don't even try to make her eat!   I just realized I need to step up my game on new foods-- eek! :)  currently battling a stomach virus (how does this child get these germs?!) 

sleeping: she has been going to bed around 730 and sleeping until around 8. takes about a 45 minute nap in morning and a 2-3 hour nap in afternoon.  usually. some days she doesnt nap. some days she just walks around her crib sticking her face in the monitor every now and then.  and if she isn't tired, don't even try to make her sleep! 

• she is EVERYWHERE. baby gates are up because you turn around and she literally has crawled into the next room :) 
• she is pulling up on everything! 
• she is cruising around our sectional couch so much we had to take our coffee table out of the room so she wouldn't fall on it 
• she has found the monitor camera and plays with it and sometimes knocks it down in her crib
• she can wave with her right hand 
• she loves peek a boo 
• her and jackson battle over his bone and toys. jax is so good with her though and tries to gently take it out of her hands 
• she babbles babbles babbles
• loves to crawl from her room to the bathroom to the bathtub to wait for her bath. she LOVES bathtime. 
• she escapes when you try to change her diaper 
• loves pulling mine and Nanas glasses off of our face 
• Kim taught her to high-five (sort of). 
• when Daddy drinks his morning Red Bull she is obsessed with it and he gets her her own to play with. 

so puny one day! 

philip sent me this when I was at work, "nakey butt diaper escape!" 

I can't believe she has been in our lives as long as she was in my belly. It is just so crazy how fast she is growing and changing. We are so thankful for her and the joy she brings to our lives.
