My little Munchkin is 9 months old!
She weighs 18lbs 8oz (with a diaper on, mind you)
She is 26 3/4 inches long
And she was squirming too much for me to remember to ask about her head circumference.
Munchkin waved to her Dr when she came in the door, and when the Dr clapped for her, she clapped back, and her Dr was very impressed that she performed all of her tricks for her. :) She is pulling up to standing on people, but can't figure out how to pull up on objects yet. She can crawl on top of things about 4-6inches up like short stairs, step stools, dog beds, etc. She is a professional army crawler- she goes arm over arm, and pushes with her legs too, but she just doesn't like to pick her body up off the floor. I think it might be a little because she's almost always on hard wood which is slippery on her pants. She's fast. She will take steps with you holding her hands but won't "cruise" yet. She can get down on to her belly from sitting, but she can't get back up again yet, although in the Dr's office she was trying to do it by going from her belly to downward dog, to collapsing a knee, to sitting. It was tricky. She said mama and dada sometimes discriminately, and babbles a ton. She eats about 60-40 table food-purees, and is a master Cheerio/veggie puff/yogurt bite/cheese/pea/sweet potato picker-upper. She loves to look at books and will try to turn the pages, although sometimes she desperately wants to go the wrong way. We're learning concepts of print. :) She knows the meaning of the words Mama, Dada, Dash, milk, come here, and no. She is starting to play with the signs we have been using with her, but I don't think she's using them purposefully yet.
This was from the morning of her birthday- I was trying to get a smile and all she wanted to do was talk/
MORNING MOM!
What do you mean you want me to sit here? It's time to go!
Ok I guess I'll look at my book.
Mom held me down and let me look at the phone taking my picture- that got a smile!
Time to start gathering ideas for somebody's FIRST birthday!!!!
Isn't Munchkin just perfect for nine months? Several of us would love to get our hands on her! Gramma you have lots of love to channel to her when you get there!
