I feel like this last month has been the month with the most changes so far.  She got her first tooth right around Halloween and got her second tooth right at the end of the month (her bottom front teeth).  She now crawls on hands and knees and is super quick.  If you look away from her for just a second she is across the room, especially when trying to change her diaper, most times I am chasing after a half naked girl.  She pulls herself up to standing on absolutely everything (ex. coffee table, couch, entertainment unit, stairs, saucer, our legs). She has learned to give kisses and to clap her hands. One time we were watching The Voice and she started to clap each time a contestant would finish singing.  Her kisses are very slobbery but sweet nonetheless and I will take it anytime I can get it.  She loves to try new food and has really started eating a big variety of "real" food, she gets very frustrated at dinner time if we don't give her some of our food even if she just ate.  She loves yogurt, string cheese (she is a Williams' girl after all) and bagels.

Her 9 month check-up went well.  She had to get a few shots that they weren't able to give her at 6 month appointment and also her flu shot.  She didn't gain very much weight this month because she was sick twice (once with her first ear infection) and she does not eat well when she's sick, but who can blame her.  After the doctor measured her head he asked me if either Craig or I had small heads.  I told him that my head was normal but that my husband has quiet a small head, he kind of chuckled and then said ok that's fine then that her head is only in the 10th percentile.

She continues to be a happy baby.  She laughs and smiles all the time.  It is fun now that she can tell when something is funny and she gets this deep belly laugh, sometimes we will just all have laughing fits that just keep going because we are laughing at each other. She is still sleeping well, 11-12 hours a night.  Naps are still a little hit and miss.  She is still crazy and all over the place and into everything, but I wouldn't change anything.  I love every minute with her.

Here are the pictures from throughout the month:

Still has great faces

 

Her hair continues to get longer

Loves to play with Dad's sandals, she finds them no matter where Craig puts them

Gotta love the boots!

Playgroup at the Botanical Gardens

Loves to play with her books, hopefully this will lead to a love of reading in the future

Helping mom with the laundry. Bed head!

Crazy hair! I can't get it to lay down.  If you look close you can see her 1st tooth

She will literally crawl over anything to get to our phones
