You are crawling, standing, cruising furniture, testing yourself all the time to do more and more. You are our rebel (even your doctor said so.) Soon you will be walking...no, running!
You love Tater (our cat). Every time you see him you smile, make noises and crawl fast towards him. You will follow him around the house. If he's laying on the couch, you go right up to him to pat his tail or face...even if he doesn't like you...you sure love him!
You have eight teeth now, and more are on their way. You drool all the time, and bite on every thing. Your crib is all chewed up. You even grind those little teeth together, the sound makes Daddy cringe!
You love food. Everything we've given you up to this point, you have eaten. In the very beginning you turned your nose at bananas and peas, but now you love them. You especially love feeding yourself. In fact, often you throw your hands in the air and complain when I try to feed you with a spoon. You want to do it all by yourself. We give you a lot of foods and you eat them right up!
You can drink from a sippy cup now. You love water. You prefer the sippy cup with a straw right now, but before we know it you'll be drinking water from any cup we give you!
You sleep great at night and have been for months. 12 hours! You go to bed early, and wake up early. You take two naps a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I have finally gotten used to our schedule!
You give kisses now. Well, sort of. You will put your mouth on mine and Daddy's face and while your mouth is wide open you just sit there, still. It's a very wet kiss, but so cute. You gave Daddy kisses before me!
You love being outside. I thought babies hated wind and cold, but you do just fine. You are so cozy on our cold winter walks, that you fall asleep most of the time. You smile when the breeze hits your face!
You love your toys, but aren't always sitting still long enough to play. You play a lot in your crib. I leave safe toys in there for you to play with before you go to sleep and when you wake up in the morning. You are starting to love books even more - which I've really been enjoying. You sit still now when I read to you, instead of always trying to eat the book or throw it!
You are babbling more, trying out new sounds all the time. Your new letter is "d." Yup, you say "dada" now! The doctor said your "m's" will be next...so I'm waiting for that "mama" to come out soon!
You prefer being active to being a social butterfly...but something tells me that soon, you'll take more interest in being verbal. Maybe you just have to master walking first? You talk mostly in your crib, or in the car, or when you think no one is looking. Sometimes you turn your head in a bashful way when people catch you doing something silly, like babbling to yourself. You are so funny, always smiling and cracking up with us! Such a happy baby, and many people have told me that about you too (even strangers we see in the store!)
You are at a really fun age right now, 9 months is a good one!
You are our good girl...and Daddy and I love you so much!
