Nora: 9 Months

At 9 months Nora:

• Has 5 teeth (3 on top, 2 on bottom)
• Waves
• Nods her head yes (actually she nods with her whole body!).  I swear she does it appropriately too.  When I ask her a question she will nod her head yes!
• Is pretty close to saying "hi", "bye bye" and "uh oh"
• Is all over the place!  She is a speedy little crawler, pulling up on everything, cruising.  
• Has pushed off my leg to a stand a few times and balanced for several seconds.  She will be walking before we know it!
• Loves bath time especially with her brother and sister
• Is a great eater.  She can take down some food!  Some favorites: yogurt melts, raspberries, blueberries, pancakes, sweet potatoes
• Has become quite the chatterbox lately
• Loves to be where the action is.  She won't be left out!  
• Gives the sweetest kisses
• Lights up around her siblings.  She thinks they are the greatest and loves the attention they give her!
• Likes to play peek a boo and the uh oh game.
• Enjoys swinging at the park
• Is sleeping well.  She typically sleeps 12-13 hours at night usually waking once around 5.  She takes 2 hour and half naps
• Is a little feisty at times!  If she's not happy she will let us know!
• Is a mama's girl.  She's never far from me and will often cry if I leave the room.
• Is just the sweetest little girl.  It's hard to believe she is already 9 months old!  It really seems like just yesterday she was born and somehow now we are closing in on her first birthday.  She is likely our last baby so I would really appreciate it if she would just stop growing so fast!
