9 months

WHOA!  9 months?  Really??  

Our little girl is growing up so fast and is doing so many cool things!

First of all- Ellie stats!

Height: 27.5" (50%)
Weight: 19lbs 3oz. (50%)
Head: 16.9" (5th%) - teeny head!

• She is standing all by herself and has taken a step a few times.  She REALLY wants to walk.  She's also in full blown cruising mode.
• She hardly eats any baby food anymore - it's all big people food!  She LOVES pizza, pasta, sweet potatoes, baby cheetos, and of course TOAST.
• Another tooth - one on the top next to her two front teeth.  She's also been drooling a lot lately so I'm sure that means another one coming through.
• She is in to EVERYTHING.  Fireplace?  Loves it.  Dog's water bowl?  Obsessed.  Climbing stairs?  All about it.
• She has mastered the sippy cup, but unfortunately has also mastered blowing raspberries at dinner.  Water goes in, sprays out on to Mommy. 
• Our sweet sleeping girl is back to sleeping through the night.  Thank you Jesus!
• She loves giving "kissies".  Open mouth, super slobbery kissies.  My heart melts every single time.
• She is so interactive these days.  We carry on "conversations" all the time and she really gets that when I stop talking, it's her turn to talk and vice versa.  She also will blow a raspberry if you do it to her first.  SO adorable (unless she's got a mouth full of food).
• She loves to hug and is super snuggly.  Especially with her Daddy.  SWOON!

I am already planning her first birthday party and I am SO excited about the theme!
