9 MoNthS oLd!

I love this little chika! She is such a happy girl!

She is a busy little body, she loves to play and have

fun! We have so much fun with her!
She had her 9 month check-up she now weighs 17.2 lbs
and is 28 1/2 in tall.

She is getting fast at getting around/she not walking but

she started climbing so we have to keep a close eye on her!

Her two front teeth on the top finally came through!
She went on her first antibiotc for a sinus and ear infection-

that wasnt fun-but it didn't last too long- we have been lucky

over the winter and she hasn't really been sick so I can't complain.

She has finally started sleeping through the night without waking

up. I thought this day would never come! It makes for a happy mama- I never had the

heart to make her cry herself to sleep- we tried it a couple of times when she was fighting going to sleep- and much to my surprise it worked- and now she doesn't even wake up at night very often ! So happy day for me!!!!!!!!!!!

She loves food! She never liked baby food much

but we started giving her soft foods we eat and she loves it!

She makes a big mess about everytime she eats...because she has

to do most of it herself but I am just happy she is eating so well!

My mom thinks it is so funny- she says itslike feeding a little crusher!

It was so funny- I was mashing up some banana to mix with

her cereal one morning and she kept reaching for the rest of the banana

so I handed it to her- and before I knew it she had half of it gone-

then the WHOLE thing- was gone! I looked all around thinking she

dropped some off the side- but no she eaten it ALL!

I was shocked! But whaterver makes her happy!

Hadley and Holden came to play for a few minutes while

Hazel was registering for kindergarten! Marlee loves playing

with her cousins! I think she thinks she is alot bigger than she is-

she just gets right in the middle of it all!

They had so much fun together!
