9 month stats

*28.5 inches long (80th percentile)
*17 pounds 10 ounces (30th percentile)

so we have a tall and skinny little girl! i just cant believe she is already 9 months! she is just now starting to steadily crawl up on her hands and knees. she is starting to pull herself up on everything too. she is a little vacuum and tries to eat even the tiniest little spec on the floor...its so funny cuz she will lay on the tile and try to pick up the little specs that are in the design of the tile. lol! she is pretty easy going and will go to almost anyone. she has mastered patty cake and will wave bye-bye sometimes. she loves to scream (happy screams) and say mama and dada. she seems to only like the orange baby foods (sweet potatoes, carrots, and squash). she is STILL not on a consistent sleeping schedule (probably because we have been so busy in the past couple months). she has two teeth on the bottom that came in at 4 months and is just now starting to get one on the top....but it hasnt broken thru quite yet. she loves to crawl over to watch her doggie thru the door. she has cuter clothes and shoes than me but thats ok:) as long as she looks cute, it doesnt matter what i look like! love you baby girl!
