nine months

Katie is such a light in our life and in our home. We are all completely enamored with her. Ana loves to pack her around and play with her. Jack is so sweet to her and smiles and talks to her often. As I have said before, it's like she's always been here.






At 9 months, Katie:

*weighs 19.6 lbs (65th %)

*is 29 inches (92nd %) long.

*babbles "dadadadadada" and "mamamamama" and occasionally "ananananana."

*smiles and giggles a lot.

*holds on to mommy for dear life and does not like to be put down.

*crawls everywhere. Nothing on the floor is safe from her clutches.

*has starting venturing up the stairs, but only when Mommy has left her downstairs.

*is always so happy to see Jack in the morning, Daddy in the evening, and Ana in the afternoon.

*loves yogurt, cheese, eggs, strawberries, peaches, sweet potatoes, peas and GRAHAM CRACKERS!

*usually wakes up once or twice at night, but the last few nights has slept all night and Mommy feels wonderful!

*naps irregularly and unreliably and wants to nurse to sleep every time. This might be getting better though.

*is such a bright, happy, wonderful baby.
