Nine months

My little girl is not so little anymore. At nine months she is so active and exploring everything. She started crawling about a week ago and we cannot stop her now! Oh my, its a whole different world now. Its amazing how much she has changed in the last few weeks. She is so aware of everything going on and when she wants something, you can no longer distract her. She has finally said a real "ma ma" and is talking up a storm. She has developed a little bit of a sassy attitude. oh no. But she is still my sweet baby. She is going through a big growth spurt and is waking up to eat around 2-3 am on some nights. Hopefully this will pass soon. We moved her crib to the lowest level after I walked in her room and she was standing! Her whole world has changed now that she is crawling. She is a little investigator and it really is entertaining to watch. Her favorite toy is my cell phone, so in the interest of saving it from drool and teeth marks, I had to get her one of her own (don't worry its a toy). She has four teeth now and is working on a couple more. She loves when we sing to her and loves to play "peek a boo" and "patty cake." She is also learning the meaning of "no." She loves to shake her head and thinks it is the funniest thing ever when i shake my head real fast. She gives "high fives" back and grins from ear to ear when she see us. She is one sharp baby and has us all wrapped around her little finger.


I'm loving this stage, even though it is exhausting. What a personality she has! We are really looking forward to Christmas next week!
