My Little Girl Turns 9 Months!!

Today was Audrey's 9 month birthday!  We celebrated with a visit to the Doctor for a wellness checkup.  She is doing great, and is now in the 50th percentile for height!  Maybe she won't be a little short round after all.  Her weight is still in the 10th percentile, but as the Doctor says, "Look at her parents."  True.
This month has been one of my favorites with my little girl.  She is so very curious about everything, and cannot sit still!  She hasn't mastered crawling yet, but will take a few tentative crawls before returning to the army crawl.  I can honestly say that I am not upset that she isn't crawling, because she will be a complete handful when she does.  She is having so much fun pulling up on things, that I wonder if she will even bother with crawling, or go straight to walking.
Her sleeping habits have improved so much in the past few weeks.  I had a FULL NIGHTS SLEEP a few nights ago, and woke up feeling like a new person!  Naps are going well and are no longer a struggle for us.  A well rested baby makes for a much happier Mommy.  :)
She is changing and learning things at such an amazing speed.  Each week she amazes me with something new she has learned.  Just this week she figured out how to go from the crawl to sit position, which means I will more than likely find her in her crib this way from now on.

Audrey loves when John gets home from work because that means "rough house" time.

Best friends!  Audrey likes to wave good morning to Lucy every morning we wake up.  Lucy loves Audrey just as much and is learning to be "easy" with the baby. 

                                                                   

Love that gummy grin!
