You are on the move! You have mastered the art of crawling this month, and even started pulling up! You have also mastered grabbing every little toy, piece of dog hair, and lint off the floor and putting it in your mouth! We are trying to keep the floor clean and open for you to explore... it is sure hard these days!
You continue to amaze us with your calm and smiley demeanor. You LIGHT UP when you see Ella, Gabe, Mommy, Daddy, and Hank. You're starting to recognize Grandma and Grandpa Vroom and Uncle Dan! Sometimes you give a huge smile to a stranger! We have tried to put you in the church nursery twice lately - once at Grandma's cantata, where you lasted until the sermon and the nursery workers had to call me to rescue you, and once at Parkview where they called us during the second song because you hadn't stopped crying. You do great in church, though! You like to sing along. I hope that your stranger danger is starting to end.
Naps continue to be a challenge, but you're sleeping through the night or waking up once for a 6 oz snack, so I can't complain! You have napped a few times in your crib for 30-45 minutes...progress!! You start humming really loud before bed - that means that you want someone to sing to you. You also love to hold onto something when you go to sleep, whether it is a blanket or hoodie string or finger.
You are wearing 12 and 18 month clothes and size 4 dipes. Your cheeks and thighs are so kissable! You are eating stage 2 foods twice a day.
You had a great first Christmas! You had a great time shredding wrapping paper and trying to take a taste of it. Your favorite toys are the Disney Klip Klop Stable and the Fisher price lantern. You had a great time with your Parrish aunties right before Christmas - Aunt Julie & Aunt Mandie.
You were 23 lbs 6 oz at your 9 month checkup (99%) and 100%ile for height. Dr. Diamond said you are perfect! That didn't seem to effect your opinion of him - you cried the whole time :)
We love you, pumpkin pie! I'm excited to see you grow and change, but wish it wasn't happening so fast!
