9 Months & Growing...

Nine months old!

I was finally able to finish adding photos today. There are plenty!!

Also added a couple videos to youtube.

According to my calculations (hasn't had her checkup at the doctor yet), she is about 30" tall and 24 pounds! That puts her still in the 95% or so. She's so tall that pants are more like capris. And she's so strong! When on the changing table, she can push me away with her legs (NOT a good thing...).

She has recently "graduated" to all the bigger items: "Toddler" size cloth diapers, foods she can feed herself, a walker, lowering the crib/playpen soon, etc. And bigger size clothes (those diapers ... they're so big! I can't even get a size 2T pants over them! I'm looking for other people who also use All-In-One cloth diapers on their big babies to see what they do about pants! In the mean time, she'll be spending days in dresses & short-alls! And she'll have to wear disposable diapers just to wear some clothes we already bought!)

March 28 - at Grandma & Pawpaw's house, the Easter Bunny arrived early! March 24 - Peek-a-boo!! Playing in the bottom of the playpen... March 26 - photo of her room while she plays in her crib March 30 - Eating pancakes in my duckie PJ's...life couldn't get any better! March 30 - Now rolls to her side when she sleeps & she is SO CUTE! April 1 - We let her watch the Wiggles & she likes it better than the camera (which is why I managed to get a photo of the SIDE of her face...)! It entrances her somehow (that, and Fantasia). She wouldn't look at me no matter what... What is it with those Wiggles guys? April 2 - just got the new walker & loving it! April 3 - Nine Months Old!! Wearing the "Easter" dress Russ bought her before she was born. ... This child loves having her photo taken... anyone know any baby modeling agencies?? What you talkin' 'bout, Willis? Yay! I got two shoes... "I have the most beautiful eyes, don't I?" Mom, no more photos. I want to play now...this block here is waiting to be chewed on... April 3- eating bananas! (There's also a video.) She picked up once piece in her hands, and decided she didn't like the funny feeling enough to feed herself the pieces. She became more interested in her sticky hands than eating! Beautiful eyes!! ... and a little drool ... April 4 - "Swing higher, Daddy! My new sunhat might help me take flight!" April 5 - Oh yeah, she has an ORIGINAL 1982 Smurf outfit! Bought it still new with the JC Penney tags! It's a size 2T, but fits nicely! April 6 - BUBBLE BATH! Playing in the water... Santa? April 7 - Eating a biscuit - cramming the pieces into her mouth. There's also a video on youtube - she would "munch" a bite off the whole piece of biscuit, instead of eating the torn pieces. April 7 - playing with her mirror again. She will lay her face on it & "kiss" the mirror! HA! April 8 - Gets up on her knees in order to reach toys in the far pocket of the playpen - where she takes out items & stashes toys. The bins now hold only toys, socks and slippers, instead of diaper-changing items! Now I have to lower the playpen, too, since she is able enough to climb out of it.
