9 months...

Ok... this is about a week late but better late than never, right?

Maddie had her 9 month appointment last week. There were no shots involved with this visit so Maddie was pretty okay with it. She just got to hang out with her doctor who she loves and show off a few tricks for her.

Here are her stats:

• Height: 23 inches (90th percentile)
• Weight: 18 lbs 5 oz. (25th percentile)

She can:

• Respond to her name
• Feed herself (she actually prefers it)
• Clap!
• Crawl like crazy
• Pull herself up on anything that will stand still
• Go from sitting to crawling and back to sitting
• Turn pages in books
• Put things in out of bowls, cups, toys, etc... over and over and over
• Babble - babababa, mamamama, dadadada... but I dont think she's associated words with anything yet.
• Point at you when she gets excited (its really cute)
• Sleep consistently through the night

She's very flirtatious and social. She's smile at you and then bury her head in my shoulder and then look up and smile again.

She's been eating almost everything we eat... well, any fruits, grains and veggies that is. We've been pretty good about only feeding her fresh and organic food. Her most recent favorite food is blueberries. We had them again tonight and she chowed them down! Yum. She doesnt have any food that she hates yet. She's gone thru phases with bananas but is over it and back on the 'nana.

She's growing up so quickly and doing more things every day. Its really amazing. All and all what can I say... she's perfect!
