9 months

This little chica is 9 months old.  Whenever I read the book The Boss Baby it reminds me of Susie.  This little peanut if packed full of personality.  She can be demanding and bossy, but never forgets to smile and laugh.  Here's a few factoids about this sweet little 9 month old:

  • She is a tiny little thing, weighing in at 15 pounds 12 ounces (5th percentile) and measuring 25.5 inches tall (3rd percentile)
  • We're not too worried about her size because this girl LOVES to eat.  She will eat everything offered to her and won't stop.  She will eat until she throws up in fact.  If you don't feed her fast enough she slams her hands angrily on her high chair tray and yells at you until you feed her. 
  • Still no teeth and it doesn't look like she will have any soon.
  • She loves to "talk".  Says dada, mama, baba.
  • She LOVES dogs.  She gets so excited whenever she sees one.  She starts breathing heavily, her heart races, and she squeals and kicks her legs.  Pretty much the cutest thing ever.
  •  She is crawling, kind of.  She mostly army crawls and gives up easily.  She will crawl a little bit, then look at me with sad eyes and will whine until I pick her up.
  • She is still an "orangutan leech" baby, who insists on physical contact with "mama" at all times.
  • She loves to laugh, especially at the silly things Nina does.  Her sweet smile melts our hearts and causes us to count our blessings every day.
