9 Months

So, it has been nine months since I gave birth to Emmy.  It does not feel like a whole nine months has gone by.  If time goes by this fast with just one child, I don't want to even ponder how fast it will seem to go with multiple children!

Emmalyn's Nine Month Stats

Weight - 15.5lbs (8th percentile)

Height - 27in (28th percentile)

Head - 17in (35th percentile)

Size of clothes - 3-6 month, 6 month, and 6-9 month.  

Eye color - very brown

Sleep - Not so great the past week due to TEETH!  

Food - Anything we give her.  I think it surprises a lot of people that she eats so much and is so little.

Milestones -  WE FINALLY have TWO TEETH and has mastered the pincher grasp.  She is also more mobile. She crawls all over Caleb and I and loves to pull up on us and she also army crawls back and forth.  Still hasn't mastered getting around on all fours yet.  All my moms with multiple children tell me not to wish it too soon, but I'm a little worried that she is developing mobility so slowly, but I also know that this won't matter in 17 years!

Favorite activities - buckets and baskets are new favorite things!  We have about eight different buckets/baskets around the house that have random toys in them and I'll set one beside her and she's entertained for a good 20-30 minutes.  She'll pull everything out one by one and examine it and taste it and roll in around in both hands.  Caleb and I got her some plastic easter eggs and an easter basket that she particularly likes right now.  

She also wispers a lot - I have no idea where she got this from and says "da-  da."  Sometimes just to say it and other times she'll be near him and look right at him and smile.
