Lilly went for her 9 months checkup on Monday and she is doing well! No shots this time which was a welcomed surprise for all. She grew 3 inches and is now 27 inches. She weighs right above 16 lbs still, such a dainty little girl! She eats really well and has not developed any picky habits which we feel lucky about. Now that she is on the move, Dr. Green said that her weight gain might taper off from month to month as she gets close to a year old. And by on the move...I mean she is anywhere and everywhere these days! It's so fun watching her explore but it can be exhausting as well chasing after her. She has also mastered standing herself up in her crib. Even though we moved the mattress to it's lowest setting... It's so amazing how quickly things are changing now. She says all sorts of things...da-da, ma-ma, ya-ya, la-la, etc. And she loves to click her tongue and make lots of noise. If we do it, she does it back to us. She also loves to wave and has even started saying bye-bye with it! She waves forward and backwards :)
Her favorite toys seem to be things that are not really toys. Like door stoppers, air vents, rugs, Annie's dog toys, Mommy's glasses, Daddy's cell phone and watch, and anything that makes a crinkling noise. She has discovered the Christmas tree and presents but doesn't seem too terribly interested at this point. She likes the wrapping paper on the presents but hasn't went after the tree yet. Knock on wood!
We are so excited to celebrate her first Christmas this year. We feel very fortunate to have her in our lives to make this season even more beautiful. Happy Holidays to all!
With Love,
