9 months

9 months is full of milestones!

• At her 9 month well check up at the doctor's office, Abby weighed 21 pounds, (80th %ile), 28.25 inches long (68th %ile), and 17 inch head circumfrence (22nd %ile).  Her weight for length percentile is 75%. 
• As you can see from the pictures, Abby is much more mobile!  This girl kneels, pulls to stand, beginning to side step along furniture and also beginning to walk behind push toys.  Holy moly! Where did my baby go?! 
• She's eating more soft table food - she's had blueberries, cantaloupe, watermelon, bread, cheese, banana, mandarin oranges...  She loves to shove her face full of food. 
• She claps!  She will imitate us when we clap for her. 
• She is waving too.  For such a long time, she would move her wrist and now it has finally evolved into a wave.  She's still learning what it means, but will wave back and squeal with delight when we wave in response to her waving. 
• Just recently we walked into Abby's room to find her standing in her crib.  Practicing her new skill in all sorts of places.  Daycare has commented that instead of napping, she is choosing to stand in her crib, despite how tired she is.  That's why we get reports of her napping only 30 minutes.  !!!!
