9 months

i can't believe she's been out of me as long as she has been in me!

Quinn at nine months...
-you can now pick up and eat cheerios well.  you don't eat anything else that's not pureed still. if it doesn't dissolve fast like cheerios or gerber puffs then you still gag on it and/or just spit it out.
-you can pull to standing! still learning how to get down once you are standing. so you often get up and then just scream, with your little legs shaking, until we help you.
-you can get back into a sitting position all by yourself now!  this is a great milestone because you no longer just whine while on your tummy... you can actually get around and do what you want!  the down side is that nap time is kind of torture.  now that you know how to go from laying down to sitting and standing at the side your crib you will play for forever instead of going to sleep. it's kind of like sleep training all over again.  sometimes i have to just rock you or kind of hold you down so you will stay laying until you calm down a bit and realize it's sleeping time.  you are seriously way too busy and determined!
-you are better at falling asleep in my arms now.  not all the time but there are times when you won't even go down unless i rock you, which used to never happen!  even when you're so ready for a nap when i lay you in your crib you just don't stop going like you have things to do... so i think you are just able to relax more if i hold you.
-you have moved from the army crawl to the one leg scooting, crawling thing.
-you are loving books even more.  i think that is when you are the most calm and concentrated is when you are just looking at your books by yourself.  it's so cute watching you try and really figure out what's on the page or get at it with your little fingers.
-you have four teeth on top and two on bottom.
-weigh about 15 pounds and wear size 3-6 months clothes.
-you 'who' like an owl and point all the time.
-you're a talker.  i love driving in the car with you listening to your little conversations to yourself. too cute!
-you got diarrhea on your daddy for the first time and he freaked out. haha it was pretty funny! you poor thing though... you've had it the last couple days and haven't really wanted to eat that much and have been sooo sad.  teething has never been this bad until now.  at least the tylenol and teething tablets help you out, that is when you actually let me give it you. you're not much a fan of the tylenol.





(she was sick so this is the best we got... she wouldn't even lay down for a second before she would roll over and sit up.  and those are little scratches on her face from being so sad and sick and rubbing/attacking her face.)
