9 Months Old!

Gosh, to say that this week, turning 9 months has been FULL of changes, would be an understatement! The day before Addie turned 9 months, I heard her stirring in her crib at naptime. I peeked in her room......and there she was.....SITTING UP IN HER CRIB smiling at me with her hands on the rail! Needless to say, the crib was lowered that evening! She has perfected her army crawl to a very fast speed, and is sitting up from a laying down position every chance she gets. She obviously has found this new independence to be pretty fun stuff! She had her 9 month well check this week, and was 18lb's, 10 oz's and was in the 95th % in height! HA! She has the longest, little legs! She is also free to eat pretty much anything at this point (except peanuts, eggs, citrus, shellfish, and honey). So, we took her to lunch after her appointment, and she had her first few bites of meat- it happened to be part of daddy's reuben sandwich! She loved it! She's also been eating pasta, fruit bars, tofu, cottage cheese, and she is obsessed with drinking from a straw, out of her new sippy cup! This has been such a fun week, full of changes!
