NINE MONTHS OLD!!

9 months!! that is so close to ONE YEAR! i can't even believe it.

We went to the dr. yesterday for Adelaide's 9mo well-baby check up.  She is doing GREAT! Of course, I didn't need the doctor to tell me that, but he confirmed it.  Here are her stats:

27in long (50%)
16 lbs 14oz (10% - but staying on her curve perfectly so everyone is very happy!)
head circumference was also 50%... can't remember what the number was

Things Adelaide is doing:
- still pushing things and walking behind them
- walking when we hold her hands
- trying to let go and stand by herself for a split second... sometimes for a whole second :-)
- laughing A LOT
- reaching for other people besides mommy and daddy
- looking adorable
- cutting a new tooth on the top
- picking up lots of foods (and lots of non-foods) with her little fingers and feeding herself
- grew into size 2 shoes
- looking adorable
- LOVING the water and not at all phased when her face gets wet (the other day we were at a friend's pool and Adelaide was playing with a toy that sinks. So when she let go she could see it at the bottom of the pool and she kept leaning over - while she was being held, of course - to try to reach the toy, but kept getting a face full of water. She would sit up and take a big gasp and then just keep trying over and over, sticking her face right in the water every time. It was hilarious)
- biting Nacho's tail (that only happened once - poor Nacho yelped, which made Adelaide cry. She hasn't tried it again since... don't worry, they're still friends.)
- opening and closing, opening and closing, opening and closing, opening and closing.... everything that can be opened and closed. it's her favorite game.
- have I mentioned she is adorable??

I have not been taking many pictures lately so we had a quick photo shoot just for the sake of this post.



trying to crawl up a little too close the camera...




Nacho wanted to get in on the action too
