Nine Month Stats

Nine months and all I can say is... whew. I'm pooped. =) I know it will only get "worse" when she's walking all over, but, she's literally into everything these days. She isn't content with just crawling around exploring things anymore.. she has to pull up on things all the time now. We are truly loving every moment of it though. Dad-E and I just discussed the other day how much fun she is now. We are really seeing her personality come through, and we know we're in for it when she can start talking and let us know how she really feels about the things we do or say to her.

The Stats:
Weight: 18 lbs (36th percentile)
Length: 28 1/2 inches (82nd percentile)
Head: 16 3/4 inches (13th percentile)

Once again, the tall and slender comments were made by the doctor... but I guess you never can tell for sure at this age. She is growing and growing, and all looks great health wise.

Diaper Size: We're using up our last package of 2's, she still fits, but we'll be busting out the size 3's after this pack runs out
Clothing Size: 6-9 month outfits, 9-12 month sleepers (especially for length!)

Shoe Size: 2 (Although she really doesn't wear shoes or socks)
Food: Similac bottles, three meals, puffs, mum-mum's... we're still yet to find anything she won't eat
Naps: About an hour and a half in the AM and an hour in the afternoon

Sleep: Asleep for the night by 7:30pm and up about 6:15 now (we're getting lucky with her sleeping in a little!!)

Teeth: Six. (Four across the top, two on the bottom)
Sounds: Dada, baba, mama, babbles and squeals, "clucking" (clicking/snapping noises with her tongue), sticks her tongue out and makes noises like that, and I think she's actually associating dada and mama with Dad-E and I

Play: Pulling up on everything, crawling and "turbo" crawling as we like to call it when she sees something she really wants, you can hear her coming with her hands smacking on the ground so fast, tickling/giggling, still loves the dog toys more than her own, loves making loud noises by hitting things together, "shaking" it with anything she can hold and shake in the air, climbing the stairs, dancing, clapping, and starting to wave "bye-bye"
New buddies: Izabella, cousin Max!, and today she just met Simon Lowe too =)
