Nine Months

Sweet Sibley,

I promise I blinked, and all of a sudden you're a big girl!

You turned nine months on Friday, and we celebrated with your first ear infection and pink eye. :( But the good news is that the medicine seems to be working because you feel much better!

You started crawling about three weeks ago, and in the past week you've gotten faster and faster. On your 9 month birthday you pulled up to standing for the first time, and yesterday you took your first steps holding our hands or holding the furniture. It's happened so fast!!

We really can't let you out of our sight now because it doesn't take you long to find some trouble. Guess we really need to start baby-proofing this house!

You've been eating pick-up foods yourself, and you're down to three bottles a day most days. You're officially in 9-12 month clothes now, and we have plenty of outfits to choose from thanks to some sweet hand-me-downs from Aunt KK and pajamas from "Aunt" Melanie. :)

You're now up to 22 pounds and 28 inches, keeping you in the 90th percentile for weight but up from the 37th to 66th percentile for height! Thank goodness for growth spurts!

You babble all the time, but you'll occasionally say Dada, and on Thursday you said Mama for the first time. ❤️❤️

You're SUCH a happy baby, and you love to go places and be social! You don't meet a stranger, which makes us proud.

We love you so very much, Boogie/Nugget/Munch/Punky Brewster! You make us happier than we ever knew we could be (and busier too!) :)
