Carley turns NINE months

On June 25th 2009 Carley turned 9 months old. She has really changed soo much in her 9 months. She has grown up so fast, I can't believe how fast it's gone by!!! She had her 9 month checkup on Friday July 3. Dr. C can't get enough of her....he loves her to death!!! She weighed in at 21 lbs. 4 oz(75-90%). Her height was 27 3/4 inches(50-75%). She is growing at the same rate that she has been since she was born, so everything is going great for her. Carley's accomplishments since 6 months include:

crawling(8months old)

feeding herself crackers, puffs, etc

saying Da-Da

saying Ma-Ma

saying Bye-Bye

waving Bye-Bye

pulling up on EVERYTHING( 8 months, 1 week old)

cruising on furniture

clapping

playing pat-a-cake

playing peek-a-boo

can go from laying down to sitting up

hold her own sippy cup for drink

shake her head NO when being asked questions(for fun--doesn't understand what she is saying)

Some fun facts about Carley include: she's a little pool fish...she loves swimming in the pool, we go almost everyday; she loves playing with her big sister and her big sister's fun toys(big sis not so sure of this though); she is an eating machine--she will literally eat everything in site if we would let her; she has FIVE teeth already-- 2 on top , 3 on bottom; she loves our dogs--everytime she sees them she gets so excited and starts yelling(she says AHHH); anytime someone is going somewhere she is right behind them, she follows us everywhere we go; she cries when someone goes out the door if she doesn't get to go; she LOVES to be OUTSIDE; she also loves popsicles(she gets mostly sugar free for now)

There is only one thing we wish she didn't do--- GRIND her teeth---she just started doing this yesterday!! Her sister did it too---we got through it, but it just hurts to hear her do that!!!
