9 months!!!!




I really can't believe how fast Elly's first year is going by! I just want to slow time down so I can enjoy each and every second of her being a baby. She's growing up too fast....
This last month has brought about so many changes in our baby girl. She has both her bottom teeth and it looks like her two top teeth will be sprouting any time! She has stepped up her eating and is a pro at cut up cheese, steamed vegetables, toast, pasta, cereal and fruit. She is an excellent eater and eats just about anything we put in front of her!
Elly has started some hands and knee crawling in the last couple of days but is very very fast and efficient with her comando/inch worm crawl. If she is determined she can get herself across a room in seconds.
We started 'signing' with Elise and she has picked up "all done" already! She can also wave and says "Mama" to me.
She continues to be a sleeping champ and pretty much goes to sleep at 7:30 pm and is not heard from again until around 7 am. It is really really really awesome!
She is a very happy baby like her sister but seems to have a bit of a wild streak to her. I thought that Sophia was a busy toddler...... I think we will have our hands full with this little spitfire!
She is so much fun and her and Sophia are becoming buddies fast. They spent hours on our road trip entertaining each other with lots of giggles!

At 9 months:
Weight: 16 lbs 2 0z (10th %ile)
Height: 26 1/4 inches (10th %ile)
