9 months

Just realized that this post failed two weeks ago when I tried to publish it. Whoops!

Happy baby at the doctor earlier this week. Thrilled that she had a bandage on her finger to play with. :)

Her height and weight are very average for her age, but her head circumference is in the 87th percentile! Lots 'o brains in that big noggin.

Pre-bedtime ritual

Late night Daddy dips and snuggles.

Mischief

Punkin is starting to get into all sorts is trouble. Pulling the remotes down off the ottoman? No problem. Ripping apart magazines? Easy. Emptying toy boxes in two seconds flat? Pffshhh!

So serious

This morning

Just a little sleepy-eyed cartoon watching. Fuzzy blanket included.

Working on it

Not crawling yet, but she's working on it. In the mean time, she's scooting around on her belly, twisting and turning to get where she wants to go, picking up lint and dog hair as she travels across the hardwoods. :)

A birds eye view

Where's Addy?

Sippy

After dinner we give her a sippy cup of water. She happily plays with it for a long time. Sometimes it makes it to her mouth right side up. Sometimes not. Every ten seconds she drops it, then sits and stares at it in her lap like she's never seen it before. It's a cute process...fun to watch her absorb and learn "simple" things. :)

Breakfast-making supervisors

Two cuties, sitting up straight and making darn sure we scooped the coffee correctly and poured just the right amount of cereal this morning. :)

Teddy

Her favorite toy of the week...Mama's old giant teddy bear. She reaches for it every time we walk into her room, and smiles at it whenever she gets to sit down face to face with him!

Bundled

So big

Standing by herself and rockin her dino jammies.

In the tub

Pics from a bath at Grandma P's last week. Her new favorite thing? Reaching out and "touching" the water. She'd sit there until she was pruney if we would let her.

Our lil camper

Long story why this was in the middle of the living room, but miss A thought it was pretty neat. Happy Friday!

New toy

Grandpa P is making breakfast, set Addy down in her high chair, and said, "Hmm, you need something to play with." Kitchen utensils from the canister on the island came to the rescue. :)

Prepster

I can't handle the preppy cuteness.
