9 months old

Alabama turned nine months old on Thanksgiving day! What a wonderful thing to be thankful for! I definitely think that these 9 months have gone much faster than the 9 months when she was growing inside me.

Alabama, here's what you're up to now at 9 months old.

You're now a very fast crawler!

You are standing up on everything! You pull up every chance you get. You also love to get into everything...cabinets, books, magazines, dresser, closets, dog food!, and everything else you find! Wow, you are a handful sometimes trying to keep you out of things that can hurt you! The nosiness continues! ha!

You wave bye-bye with just your fingers now curved back at you. It's so cute!

You eat so many things now. You eat all kinds of baby food..even bananans now. You LOVE to eat food from our plates and will open your mouth and say aahhh to let us know you want more. Some of the things you eat are bananas, whole green beans, bread pieces, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, gerber snacks, and sometimes a bite of cake.

You finally got your first tooth!!!!! It is the bottom left tooth and Alicia noticed it first coming in. Daddy doesn't have to buy you false teeth after all! ha!

You love to see other kids and just watch them and play with them. You're such a social girl!

You are NOT sleeping good now! You won't go to sleep in your bed for anything! You still wake up around 5 or 6 usually then go back to sleep for a few more hours. Sometimes though you wake up at 2 or 3 so I just can't figure you out girl! I am really praying that your sleep patterns will get better and soon!

You're in the Creeper room at church now..no more infant room for you. Clara Kate is all by herself now, though!

You're still too skinny for your 6-12 months pants but now your 3-6 month clothes are getting too short. You've got to gain some weight girl!ha! You've got some super cute outfits that I can't wait for you to wear! :-)

You go to the doctor on Monday so I'll update what she says then!

I love you more every day! You're so beautiful and so smart and sweet!
