Hayley Ann Mae: Nine Months

Nine months in and this little girl is not slowing down any. She loves to stand whenever she gets the chance, whether it be looking out the back door or up to the play kitchen. She wants to be a big girl, much to my disappointment. She is still the happiest baby I've ever known, except for when she sees the car, then she pulls out this fake cry/scream and arches are back so you can't get her in the carseat. Umm I thought 9 months was too young for that kind of behavior, apparently I'm wrong.
Our girl just is pure joy and I still kiss her cheeks every single moment I get, every single day.

Stats: weighs 20lbs 4oz (84th percentile) and 27 inches long.

Sleep: She's back to being our fantastic little sleeper, whew! We put her down around 7:30pm and wakes around 7:30am. If we are home, she takes 2 naps but most days we are out and about in the mornings and so will take one long afternoon nap.

Social: She is constantly surrounded by Chase and Asher's friends and looooves watching them. She gets so excited when they are running around and going crazy. Lately if she is excited she bounces up and down, flapping her arms around and it us the cutest thing ever. She has started getting some separation anxiety when we leave her in child watch.

Diet: I love when they start eating whatever we are. She will down quesadillas with the boys for lunch, share a soup with me, loves any kind of pasta and is still nuts for yogurt and bananas. She has fully mastered the sippy cup so will have one with her lunch and dinner, though she find it hilarious to spit it out.

Skills/Milestones: Our girl just wants to move and would stand all day if she could. She loves to stand up next to the play kitchen and chew on the pretend food. One of her other favorite spots is the back door looking out to the yard, she will stand just watching the world go by. Climbing is another favorite of hers, whether it be the stairs, toys or people. One new thing this past month is if she is standing and there is music playing she will start bobbing around. I can't even handle it!!!

Favorites: Mummy, Daddy, Chase, Asher, Cisco looooves music and being sung to, enjoys bath time, giving kisses.
