9 Months

At 9 months Ellie is:

-17 lb 5 oz and 26 3/4" long (height, weight, and head size were all 23rd percentile)
- adorable, happy, and energetic (these are the top 3 comments we get from everybody...and I completely agree).
- going to bed around 6 pm, waking for a snack around 5 am, and getting up for the day around 7 am.
- crawling, standing, cruising, walking holding one of our hands, getting up stairs....basically getting around everywhere and getting into everything.

 

- starting to talk. She says baba when she wants her bottle or binky, nom nom when she's eating something she likes or sees something she wants to eat, and mom or mama when she sees me (though this is hit or miss).
- waving, pointing, and clapping....so cute! The waving has started pretty recently so it's still a little awkward, but it's so fun.
-teething! She got her first tooth Feb 10 and her second tooth some time later in February...I really have no idea when! By the time we noticed it, it was big enough that it had to have been there at least a few days.
-eating everything! We seriously have a little human vacuum! The kids love to joke that "Ellie thinks the table is food" or "Ellie thinks my finger is food" or "Ellie thinks her shirt is food". They think it's so funny that everything she gets her hands on goes straight to her mouth.

 We love this sweet little girl!
