9 Months Old!

Wow, I can hardly believe it, but our BABY is now 9 months old!  She had her 9 month appointment on Monday!  Here are her stats: 

Weight is 20 lbs 8.8 oz (84th percentile)

Length is 28.5 inches (82nd percentile)

Head circumference 17.9 inches (89th percentile)

 

We have a very healthy and beautiful baby.  She is now doing all kinds of wonderful things.  She crawls EVERYWHERE.  She has started to do a "push off" with her left leg instead of the regular crawl.  She loves to pull herself up on things, especially if she sees the remote in view! She is also really enjoying books with textures in them... she likes to "pet" the kitties or puppies in the book!!  She is wearing 12 month clothing.  She isn't a huge fan of dresses, cuz she can't crawl around as easily.  She pulls on them as if she is annoyed!  She eats a lot.  She still has 5 bottles everyday. Plus she has breakfast (cereal), lunch and supper (baby food and mashed potatoes and small pieces of cut up fruit).  She loves to eat Puffs and yogurt melts for snacks.   Julia has 3 teeth (two on the bottom and one on top!  You can see the bottom two in some of the pictures!

 

Just love those beautiful blue eyes!  Happy 9 month birthday Julia! 

 



Grandpa and Grandma Lee came to visit this weekend.  Julia sure had fun showing them all she can do now!

 



Julia was reading her new Halloween book before bedtime.  Such a happy girl! 

 



Julia got this super cute hat from Grandma Lee!  It will keep those ears warm and it is so stylish!

 

"Grandpa... you have such big fingers!"  Grandpa and Grandma Lee brought down Mommy's wooden table and chairs set she had as a little girl.  Julia sat in the chair like a big girl and slapped her hands on the table or played with toys!  : )   It will be so fun for her to use the table as she gets older (I imagine lots of tea parties and coloring!)

 



"I'm such a big girl!  Look at me Mommy!"
