9 months old!

I was just realizing the other day just how grown up my baby girl is already. She is getting so tall! Everyday she is learning something new and she just continues to amaze me. Here is her list of can-do's:

- can get into and out of a sitting position by herself
- is the strongest and fastest little army crawler I've ever seen
- is in motion all the time and likes exploring ours and other peoples houses
- rocks back and forth on her hands and knees
- is starting to stand up (leaning or assisted) at her standing activity table and loving it
- loves reading books with us
- likes to leave her socks all over the house
- make a definite "Da" sound but unsure if she does so to get Eric's attention or if its just a sound she figured out
- can eat bits of banana and avocado without being pureed
- is starting to be shy of strangers and likes to bury her head in my neck (love this!)
- can make all sorts of noises with her tongue and lips. We esp like the kissy noises
- can do the "so big" motion very, very well
- can now get into the kitchen cabinets :( let the childproofing begin)
- can sleep through the night when she chooses too but doesn't happen often
- still working on cutting tooth #3
- my guess is she is now over 17 pounds and maybe 2 1/2 feet tall

Fun the leaves at grandma and grandpa's house
