9 Months Old...






Nine Months... Three-Quarters of a Year... So hard to believe that our little girl is so big already. She's changed so much in the last month, that I'm not sure I can remember all of her new tricks..
At nine months, Everleigh....
-Weighs 18lbs (35%), is 27inches long (40%), has a head circumference of 17.5in (50%)
-Sleeps about 11 hours at night and almost always sleeps through the night now (with the exception of a little teething issue she's had the last few nights :)
-No longer cares for most baby food, but prefers to eat anything that we're eating.
-Is very good at her pincer grasp and can feed herself very well
-Easily gets from tummy to sitting
-Does a hybrid all-fours/ army crawl, depending on which suits her at the moment
-Pulls up on some things and is usually standing in her crib when I go to get her in the morning
-LOVES to play peek-a-boo
-Claps loudly for her brothers and raises her hands over her head in cheerleader fashion
-Dances to all music with a funny bob, and appears to be Brody's biggest groupie
-Loves to give kisses and hugs- when the mood strikes her. She's very affectionate when it's on her own terms. You can't ask or she will deny you.
-Babbles all of the time. "DaDaDaDa" is still her favorite, followed by "Uh-Ah" (which I think refers to her paci, since we always say Uh-Oh when she drops it), and "NaNaNaNa"
-Is working on her top four front teeth. Everything goes in her mouth and her gums are pitiful.
-Has been absolutely ruined for any future boyfriends. Her brothers wait on her hand and foot, tell her that she's pretty every day and help her pick out her bows. No man could ever live up to that... although, perhaps that's their plan :)
-Has the sweetest little grin and brings such a little light to our family!
