9 months going on toddlerhood! You seem so big to us now!
Meredith Rose, you sure are a busy girl! Your current hobbies include crawling or scooting after mom, pulling yourself up and standing while playing, and eating any fuzz you can get from the rugs. You also love pinching and hair pulling.
You are around 17 1/2 pounds and are still wearing mostly 6 month clothing.
You scream and say "ahh-da" and "da-da" all day long! You also say "momma" but not as often - usually when you are trying to get to me.
Your new tricks are lifting your arms up for "so big" and giving [sloppy] kisses.
You started getting up on your hands and knees and rocking and you are now officially crawling. You are still working on the coordination of it and you usually do a combination of crawling and your army crawl/scoot.
You took your 3rd road trip and rocked it. You have also been on 4 flights and have 4 more in the next month! In your first 9 months, you have been in North Carolina (coast and mountains), Minnesota, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, and the District of Columbia. We love traveling and plan to drag you along for most of it.
You continue to be curious about everything and everyone and we love that about you. You are also a little adrenaline junky. You did you first back hip circle at the little gym and did so good at climbing on a little course they set up. Maybe you will be a future gymnast like your mom and aunties? Or maybe a downhill skier once we get you on the slopes next winter?
You play so much better with your toys now. You can interact better and your coordination is great. You still love the zany zoo (best purchase ever) and love your quiet bible book, stackable cups, v-tech sit and stand, and baby Einstein music toy.
The night before you turned 9 months you slept over 11 hours! That was mom's FIRST full night of sleep in over 9 months (I'm not sure when my actual last full night of sleep was if you factor in waking up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night while pregnant)! THANK YOU!
We lowered your crib and it was just in time because you are sitting up and pulling yourself up in your crib now too.
You stand ALL DAY LONG. And if you are not standing, you are crawling or scooting (or climbing on mom). Once you are standing, you want to move to the next toy or furniture. You don't seem to have any fear of falling yet. Thankfully you will fall to your butt now without rolling all the way back to your head. Sometimes you forget how to sit down and start to whine after awhile. You love holding our hands and walking - sometimes almost a run - around the house!
We are having so much fun with you! Where did our baby go?!
