We've been going through a very odd time in our household recently. Isabella has had a congested/runny nose and an irritated throat, but she is happy as can be! We had a few rough days with both naps and nighttime, but as long as we weren't trying to put her to bed she was a happy, smiling, active girl. We actually took her to Urgent Care on Sunday because I was worried that maybe she had an ear infection, but her ears were clear. They ran a Strep test and that came back negative as well. I'm convinced that it's teething-related and that the sore throat is from the poor girl crying so hard for those two nights. Most of the time she seems happier than she has ever been. I think this is due to her ever-increasing mobility, that and the fact that I am such an awesome mommy. :)
Here's an idea of what 9 months looks like in our house:
-Hand and and knees crawling. She is super-fast, going everywhere and getting into everything. This has resulted in a second baby gate.
-She's a pro when it comes to pulling up to her knees. She's still working on pulling up all the way, but we don't really have anything that is both tall enough and sturdy enough for her to pull up to.
-Wearing some 9 month, some 12 month clothes
-Has her two bottom teeth
-Eating like a horse. She'll eat anything we give her and gobbles it up in seconds. Most days she is now getting a mid-afternoon snack in addition to breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
-Drinking water from a sippy all by herself!
-She doesn't like being confined in the exersaucer or jumperoo (unless she has a snack or we take her outside) so it's making it very difficult for mommy to get the spare bedroom organized for the playroom project.
-First trip to the zoo (Columbian Park)
-She has discovered the electronics. I cannot tell you how many times I have to drag her away from the Wii, DVR, etc. everyday. The bookshelf is a big draw too.
-Trying to steal my food. It's becoming hard to eat in front of her.
-Speaking fluent gibberish. Seriously, the child is such a chatterbox.
-Using Mommy and Daddy as jungle gyms, and climbing onto/over anything else she possibly can. The little monkey.
Can't forget the required monthly photos:
