Nine Months!

We've been busy so this update is a little late. Grace turned nine months old on September 13. I can't believe we're less than three months away from her first birthday!



Grace's army crawl is getting faster! She will get up on her knees but doesn't move much that way, she prefers to drag herself along on her belly. The baby gates are up and we're still doing some baby-proofing around the house. She can pull herself up to her knees but has to be helped into a standing position (she loves to stand).

She still has no teeth. She loves to talk and babbles all day long. She can clap and wave. She was signing 'milk' but is now doing it less consistently, but she clearly knows what it means.

Grace loves animals and gets really excited by them. She loves crawling after Cuda at Zilla and Grampers' house or Gizzie at Meme and Papa's house. She loves toys that light up and make music, and especially likes standing at her Leapfrog table. She loves chewing on her board books and likes when I read to her.

She loves to drink water, especially from a glass. We tried giving her thicker, lumpier purees but she's not very fond of them; she's been doing great with finger foods.

Grace weighs about 20 lbs now! We're still using her infant car seat but she's too heavy to carry around in it. We'll be switching over to the big girl car seat very soon. She's all over the place with her clothing sizes: 6-12 month pants, shirts anywhere from 6-18 month sizes depending on where they're from and she'll soon be wearing the 18-24 month size sleepers. She wears size 3 diapers.
