Sylvia 9 Months!



Sylvia is such a big girl! She's still "army" crawling, but hikes her belly off the floor more. She's getting fast at pulling herself around the room! She's even starting to push herself forward and backwards some.

She's not too fond of her exersaucer anymore (her once favorite toy), but loves to stand tall and play with anything. She's quite chatty if you hold her up. She starts out on her tippy toes, but we re-position her to stand on her flat feet. Sylvia loves books and is quick to turn the page for you or take a nibble. Her favorite toys are these small round boxes, a blue block, a ring with balls inside and a new homemade toy that's a plastic bottle with beads inside. She loves music and will move up and down while sitting if you start to sing!

She still doesn't have any teeth, but I can see the impressions of 4 on the bottom that are moving their way up (at least I think that's what I see).

She's still a good sleeper and a really good eater. Tomorrow we are transitioning almost entirely to finger foods -- we're done making purees, I think!

Sylvia has a ton of hair and it's a little wavy on the back. She still lets us put bows in her hair, but gives me a hard time when I clean her ears...she's bats my hand way! She's a determined little girl and pushes her bottle, food and anything way when she's finished wiht it.

Our little girl is getting so big and she's so adorable.

Here are the statistics from the doctor:
17.5 in head = 59th percentile
27 3/4 in height = 50th percentile
19lbs 13oz in weight = 62nd percentile
