She also loves to play in the kitchen-- she likes looking at her reflection in the appliances...haha

Today is Greenlee's 9 month birthday. She weighs 21 lbs and is 30 inches tall. According to the doctor, she is off the charts for weight, height, and head circumference. Here are some of the things she has been up to this month:
-- pulling up on things (but she still has no idea she can pull up on her crib rails-- thank you Lord!)
-- taking steps when we hold her hands.
-- still doing the half crawl/drag thing after a whole month of being on the move. Since she gets around anywhere she wants to go with her drag/crawl we don't think she'll ever do the normal coordinated crawl. I think she will go straight to walking.
-- She loves to do planks and headstands all day long
-- Today she drank out of a straw for the first time.
-- signs "more" and "water"...we are working on "all done", "mama", and "dada"
-- eating finger foods...she is getting really good at feeding herself puffs, cheerios, etc.
-- after a week of vacation she reverted back to 3 naps per day...so we are still working on getting her back to her old nap routine
-- getting better at not waking up at night (we started letting her cry herself back to sleep when she wakes up at night and it has helped tremendously)
-- she can put her paci back in her mouth...YAY! this was huge for us. now we know we don't need to run upstairs in the middle of the night or during a nap to put her paci back in when she loses it. as long as she can find it she can get it in. i've waited for this day for a VERY long time!
-- talking up a storm and socializing. she babbles constantly and makes verbal expressions with just about everything she does throughout the day. she also LOVES other kids. she is so aware of other babies and children and wants to be right up in their space touching them and talking to them.
-- size 3 diapers, size 12-18 month clothes, size 3-4 shoe
