9 Months

What happens when you try to get a 9 month old baby to sit still to take a few pictures? You resort to props and trying to keep your hand close enough to catch her if she takes a nose dive.Ellie is 9 months old. She is turning in to such a big girl. She now has 3 teeth. The Saturday before Christmas (12/18) she got a top tooth to go with the bottom 2.
She might not have any back teeth, but she can certainly eat. She would much rather eat table food than baby food. She loves chicken of any kind and will really try anything.
We had a week of snow that started in 1/9. It basically kept us at home for the week. Ellie took the week to really start crawling. She has not started to get in to trouble yet, but I bet it is coming. (Unless you put her in a chair and want her to sit for a picture.)
Ellie can not pull herself up yet, but she loves to stand if you put her on her feet. She really loves to stand and look out the window at the other kids playing.
Ellie is back to being a good sleeper. If there are not interruptions, she will usually sleep about 12 hours at night and then take 2 good naps during the day. She usually just lets you plop her in her crib, and she will fall asleep.
She is doing much better at not being with mommy. I made it through MOPS and even a couple of Sundays at church without being called. Since she is crawling now, she will be moving up at church, so we will see how she does.
Ellie is just the smiliest little baby. She gives us big grins all the time. She is so happy. If she is fussy you know there is something wrong. Usually she is tired, hungry or needs to poop!
She is our sweet angel. Here are her 9 month stats. Height 28 inches (50-75%), Weight 16 pounds 12 ounces (10-25%) and head 44 1/4 cm (50%). She is the same height as Macie was, but she weighs about a pound less than she did!

OH my goodness - seriously, 9 months. She's such a cute little peanut. Nicole will be happy to have her in her room in the nursery.
