9 Months

Happy 9 Months to my cute little Emry girl!! Nine months seems like a huge milestone to me for some reason. Like she is in between infant and toddler! She is such a big girl and we are loving every minute of it! (Although I also really miss having my tiny little baby around...) She has really started to show her personality and the best way to describe it is HAPPY! People are always commenting on how happy she is and it is really true! She loves to smile and laugh. (Don't get me wrong; when she is mad, she is MAD!) But most of the time she is just a happy little girl! We are so lucky to have such a fun, cute, happy, nice, smiley, etc baby! We love her so much!!

Stats:

Height: 28.7 inches (90%)

Weight: 18 lbs 11 oz (75%)

Head: 17.75 inches (50%)

At 9 Months:

*Crawls everywhere and is in to everything! She pulls herself up on everything and will cruise sometimes. She doesn't do this too often but she has started to do it by herself (without me giving her something to work toward or sitting there encouraging her!) She even climbs the stairs, but can't come down them yet. Thankfully, they are a little out of the way so she only gets on the stairs when we take her there. 

*Has 4 teeth and they are adorable!! She has learned out to bite food. For example, she can bite off a piece of the graham cracker and she kinda chews Cheerios with her front teeth! Smart girl!!

*Eats everything. She doesn't really like peas, green beans, or beans but she will eat them if you are feeding them to her with a spoon (she just won't feed herself them). Her favorite thing lately is cheese. She could eat so much cheese, it's ridiculous. It's like she is never too full for cheese! 

*Babbles all the time. She sometimes will copy you if you say "mamma" or "dadda" and I swear she copied me when I said ball the other day. She is one smart little girl!

*Copies you when you blow raspberries  It's really funny when you do it and then this baby copies you! She cracks me up!

*LOVES bath time. She loves to play with her toy turtle and discovered splashing. So much fun!

*When she is healthy and happy, she sleeps really well, but when she is sick, it's like we have a different baby. She got sick last week and she was up like 4 or 5 times a night. It was kinda ridiculous, but now she is all better and she sleeps 11 hours straight. I am so sick of winter and being sick! It has been a rough winter for us. I feel like Emry gets sick and then she gets better only one week later to get sick again! It's horrible. We are currently healthy and hoping that we stay that way!! 

*She takes 2 naps during the day. She has been doing pretty good with these, so that's a plus!

*Wears size 3 diapers and 6-12 month clothes (some 12 month clothes too). 

*Still LOVES other kids. At church it is crazy how much she will laugh and smile at all the kids around us! Today the little boy in front of her actually gave her a kiss! haha! He also gave her his sister's burp cloth and said, "Here Girlfriend". It was classic! First love, I suppose! But then she turned around and flirted it up with the boy sitting behind us, so I wasn't too worried! (Or should I be more worried... hmm..)

*Loves to go outside. Every time I open the door she gets so excited!

*Started getting so excited when Daddy comes home from work. She hears that door open and sees him and gets so excited and almost starts hyperventilating she is so excited and crawls toward him. It of course, makes Ryan's day! She loves her Daddy!

*Waves Hi and Bye all day long!

Nine months has been one of my favorite stages! I just love it! She is so much fun!

Look at that smile! 

 I let her stand on her own for a second. She didn't like it! haha (I'm actually not holding her at all in the picture!) Also, if you look closely, you can see her bottom two teeth!

 Did I mention she is adorable!!

 Standing! This is what we do all day!
