9 months

Well, you have been with us as long as you were in the womb.  The last few months since I did your 6 month entry has gone by so fast.  You continue to grow and learn more and more each day.  You are sitting up so much better.  Every once in awhile, you will fall backwards, but it is because you are so excited that you throw yourself back.  We keep some pillows behind you...just in case.   You are really moving around on your belly...you can pretty much scoots wherever you want.  The other day, you got yourself under Sophie's bed!!!  You are pulling your knees up under you, and you can straighten your arms  out...you just haven't figured out how to do them at the same time.  Once you do, it won't be long before you take off crawling!  You continue to be a SUPER good eater. We are still AMAZED at how you are eating things from the table...still doing baby food, but you are so over the Stage 2 baby food!!!  You only have your two bottom teeth, but you know how to use them!   You continue to be a super happy and easy baby...you just go with the flow.  Really the only time you fuss is when you are hungry.  You have started drinking from a sippy cup...bye-bye to the bottle...once a day.  The rest of the time is with Mommy.  You really like to laugh and have already figured out that when you do something funny, we laugh at you.  Usually, you like it when we laugh, so you do your trick again..and again...and again!!!   You have started sleeping through the night...usually from 7pm to 6am.  Every once in awhile, you may have an off night, but nothing too crazy.  You are still taking 2 naps a day.  We have continued watching your reading videos...you get so happy when we put them on.  At the end of the video they have some word games, and you have begun tracking your eyes to the word that is called.  We think you will be reading early just like your brother and sister. You LOVE your bath time...you have really figured out how to use your legs and kick water all over Daddy!  Maybe I should give him a rag and some cleaner and the two of you can clean the bathroom while you are at it!  We are looking into signing you up for a swim class...I think you will have LOTS of fun.

 Well, that is it for now.  Can't believe how quickly these 9 months have gone by.  Know that we LOVE you so much and thank God everyday for choosing us to be your parents.
