Happy 9 Months Kate!

I am so far behind! Between starting MOPS, a new Beth Moore bible study, a new small group for David & I, and a new business last week, somehow, I just didn't sit down to write this post! I did remember to actually take her picture on the 12th though...so it's legit!



This month Kate...


--learned how to climb

--started crusing around furniture. I need to get this on video!

--still sleeping the same. I just won't complain about a quiet dinner during that 45 minute night time nap!

--bounces when standing "dancing"

--still just 2 teeth. I swear...the next ones have GOT to be coming soon!

--can briefly (up to about 15 seconds) stand alone

--still a great eater - but has more opinions about things. She'll still eat everything I give her, but gets tired of green vegetables (peas & green beans) & starts turning them away. Oh well, if that's the worst of it, I'll take it!

--eats mostly finger food instead of pureed food

--holds her own bottle

--says "ma-ma" & "da-da" - sometimes actually associated with us (mostly with Daddy), but also just says it while babbling

--did I mention the babbling??? This girl talks ALL THE TIME. And this month it got LOUD! She just yells for the fun of it!

--still such a "studier" - here she is checking out Daddy's eyes. She picks a different part of his face all the time & just looks at it and touches it over and over. So cute!

--mimics even more - when asked to make a noise she will

--is so happy. Everywhere we go people ask if she's always smiling. I love it!

--sits with her toes pointed. She's been doing this for awhile, but I always forget to blog/take pictures. I just love it.

--said her first word...

haha...not really. I am NOT counting that as her first word. She has no idea what it means. I have no idea why she started saying it, but now she will say it anytime you ask her to! So funny!

Just in the past 4 day since she turned 9 months old she's started waving and eating all table foods so hopefully I'll get those posts up soon!

I just can't believe we're 3 months away from having a 1 year old. Seriously. It's just too fast.
