MJ 9 months

Our little one is now 9-months old! I literally can't believe it. The time goes by way too fast.

We took her to her well baby check up and MJ she measures:
Weight- 18 lbs (36th percentile)
Height- 28 inches (75th percentile)

Luckily she did not need any shots this time, so she was stayed a happy little girl.

MJ's top two teeth have cut through- so she has 4 teeth in all. And, to my displeasure, she likes to bite!

MJ is getting increasingly more mobile. She can go from being on her belly to sitting to pulling herself up and then to slowly cruising along the ottoman/couch/legs. She doesn't seem very interested in crawling, though. She would rather sit up and scoot everywhere on her bum. Her favorite activity at the moment is to pull up on our ottoman, turn and fall into me and give me kisses and then turn back to the ottoman. She's happy going back and forth for a good half-hour or so.
MJ is also a pro at waving bye-bye and clapping her hands. She has also discovered that it is fun to feed the dog cheerios and other finger foods. She giggles hilariously at it, so it's hard to tell her "no."
It's so much fun, as a parent, to watch her grow and to see her personality emerge!

Silly Backwards Girl

MJ is trying night and day to master her crawling skills. (Seriously... I go into her room at night and it's noticeable that she crawls around until she gets stuck in a corner of her crib.) I'm sure in a few weeks she'll have it perfect and we'll be madly chasing her around all day. Right now, though, she's doing this awesome stink bug move... it's hard to explain, so check out the video.


MJ's really been working those muscles with all the push ups she's been doing, too!
