"By Myself"

Nolan wants to do everything "by MYself" these days. We let him get himself dressed the other day to go to the store. He was pretty cute. And he matched, a little. Then he wanted to hold Sissy "by MYself". She thought it was pretty funny.

9 Months

Lillian turned 9 months old on Wednesday. I just cannot believe she is so big. I really seems like she was just born. Everytime we pass the hospital, which is normal anytime we go out, I am reminded of that wonderful day. Goodness, it was a wonderful day!

We took her to the doctor for her 9 month check up yesterday. She didn't have to any shots which made me so happy. We found out she has an minor ear infection. This is the first time any of my babies have had to have an antibiotic :( . I cannot tell if that is what has been making her sad or if it is those rotten teeth. She had a tooth pop through on Christmas. But it has since disappeared again. I didn't know teeth could do that.

Her stats:

• 17lbs. - 25th percentile
• 27inches - 50th percentile
• She is crawling everywhere. Cruising along the couch. Walking with her push toys.
• She can climb up the stairs but choses not to. I think she has had too many tumbles.
• She has almost completely given up pureed baby food. She normally only wants to eat what we are eating.
• Loves drinking for her sippy cup. But she enjoys stealing Nolan's even more.
• Wears anywhere from 9-18 months clothing.
• On the verge of wearing size 4 diapers.
• Starting to make sounds. She has said words that sound like bubba, momma, dadda (only a few of this one). She likes the b sound the best.
• She plays with her tongue all the time. It keeps her pretty entertained. :)
• Wrestles with Nolan and normally makes him cry. She is pretty rough, she likes to pull his hair and then steal his cup. Oh no, what am I in for...
