9 Months

Our baby is 3/4 of a year old.  She is doing so many new things.

-Pulling up

-Feeding herself Cheerios, Puffs, and graham crackers.  Wants to feed herself with the spoon too.

-Making lots of sounds including but not limited to mama, baba, buh-bye, squealing, and laughing.

-Her crawl has evolved from army crawl to hands-and-knees crawl.

-Very recently has exhibited tantrum-like behavior when I took something away from her (it passed quickly).  Joy.

-Becoming very aware of her surroundings, especially people.  She is definitely in the Stranger Danger phase and wants to stick closest to those most familiar.

-Loves daycare and squeals when Rob takes her in the morning but is very excited to see me when I pick her up.

-Daddy's Girl.  She prefers Rob and doesn't try to hide it-not even to protect my feelings.

-Last weekend attended her first birthday party and first Superbowl party.

-Can take one or two cruising/shuffling steps while holding onto something.

-She is about to take her first out of state trip and first flight.
