9 Months

Lindsay's been busy this month!! Here is our sweet baby girl.... Why she is leaning I have no clue.

Happy Girl

Watch out Mama, I am going after you (actually the camera)!

Big Girl standing by herself!

* 9 month stats from the Dr.'s: height 28 inches........... 75th percentile and her weight is 17 lbs. 11 oz...... 25th percentile

* Houston, we have a CRAWLER!! Lindsay decided last Friday that she was ready to do some serious moving and crawled. At first it was only a foot or so, but she practiced all weekend and now she can get around pretty good! Definitely good enough for Mama to do some serious baby-proofing of the house. I'll take a video and post it in the next couple of days...

* Teeth...As of today she has no teeth, but tomorrow could be different! Her gummies have been swollen for days and the Dr. said on Monday they will be coming through any day now. She doesn't act like she is too miserable YET, but it is coming...yikes!

* Clapping...She has been clapping for a week or two now and it is precious. See the video below :)

* Moving to the music... Lindsay loves music, and she has been 'dancing' or really just moving her head and bobbing to the beat. One day when we were at a Mexican restaurant she got pretty excited about the mariachi music playing and put on a show.... I think it's the Arvizu side coming through!!

* Reading... No she cannot read yet...BUT she does like to turn the pages when we read her Sesame Street books! Sometimes she will even let me finish reading the page to her before she turns it.

* Talking...Now, Lindsay has always been pretty chatty. We have taken chattering to a whole new level this month. She will TELL you how it is. She gets pretty animated and uses her hands and moves her head back and forth in a very valley-girl way that is super cute. She says "Babababa" her favorite, "Dadadadada" and just within the past few days we heard, "Mamama"...yay!!

* Sleeping... We are sleep training this weekend. More to come on that later :)

* Loving... Lindsay likes to snuggle when she's tired, but we have been practicing 'kisses' and 'hugs' and when she feel inclined to, will occasionally give a 'kiss'. They consist of a slobbery head-bash, but they are sweet nonetheless.

* Eating... She has been a huge fan of veggies, and we are introducing more and more finger foods. She has a texture issue, and isn't quite sure what to think of stuff that requires actual chewing. Maybe when she gets a couple teeth she will feel differently?

Love you Lindsay Loo!
