9 months

Happy 9 months to our sweet baby girl!!

Favorite things about 9 months:
-she can stand up and sit back down without help
-she can cruise really quickly around furniture and will even take big steps from the coffee table to the couch
-she is better at playing by herself
-she is curious about everything, looking under furniture to see what's under there (usually a stray toy!), and really inspecting new things
-more good nights than bad nights when it comes to sleeping
-showing us her silly sense of humor
-feeding herself really well (even if she does just want CHEESE!!! and broccoli cheese nuggets)
-can drink from her cup with a straw by herself
-she likes to "shake, shake, shake" anything that makes noise
-she can share her toys with mommy and daddy and will even give you her paci if you ask for it
-she loves to sing along with music, especially at church and when we sing our naptime song

Hard things about 9 months:
-wanting to be independent but having a hard time showing us what she wants/needs
-throwing mini "fits" when she can't have something or we give her more of the wrong kind of food (this is where the signing will be super helpful, we're consistently signing to her but she is still learning how to sign back to us)
-waking up at random times in the night and it's hard to figure out what the problem is
-general sassiness/random attitude issues
-when around lots of people only wanting mom and letting everyone know it

But mostly, we LOVE 9 months! We're looking forward to lots more babbling, playing, and some possible first steps in the next month!



Uh, what?





Hey!



Having a 5 second fit?



Doing flips off the chair!
