9 months

Today is your 9 month birthday. To show how big you are, you said your FIRST words!!!!  DA-DA. Just yesterday Brandi asked me if you were babbling mama or dada. i said no, she just kind of rambles!! But it's true, today I say Da-Da & you say Da-Da back with a purpose. I think its actually Ga-Ga but you even said it to his picture. So I know you know what it means!!!  By the time we got home from Nana's you were a little Da-Da'd out, but he did get a few in person:)

You have the craziest baby hair alive. i cannot tame it!

You play peek a boo really well! Usually with a blanket, sometimes with daddy's Motor Trend magazine..It's adorable. You're a Smarty Pants!!!

You give big kisses upon request:)

 You love to eat finger foods. So far you feed yourself puffs, banana chunks & scrambled eggs (yolks only). Have almost completely weaned yourself. You prefer your milky in a bottle.

We have come very close to crossing the sleep thru the nite finish line.  You go to bed at 7:30pm, up around 3:30 am to eat, sleep until 7:30am.  You've started sleeping on your belly/side. You nap in your crib at 10am & 2:30pm like clock work.  We are finally swing free

You're not quite crawling but you still roll around like crzy. You can even navigate around objects in your way. We really can't take our eyes off you or you're gone!!

You weigh around 16.5 libs & wear 6-9 month clothes.

You are seriously turning into this little person, with such a silly, crazy personality. You NEVER slow down unless it's bed or nap time. you GOGOGO. Your days are filled with PLAYPLAY PLAY.

Finally, you love when we read you. Goodnite Moon, How Big is Baby Elmo, & a Finding Nemo book are some of your favorites.

We are loving you to the stars & back Mia Isabelle!
