9 months

Miss Margaret Gray turned 9 months (2 weeks ago).
I currently can't think of any major developmental milestone she hit this month.
She continues to crawl and cruise- really fast.
She might wave bye, but its more of a 2 handed arm wave, so she might just be excited.
Oh, a big thing is that she's enjoying books more- she'll sit still and look at the pictures... makes me happy.

My mom calls her a "tall drink of water".
She's 30 inches. 19 lbs 8 ounces
(really, I just made up the ounces cause I can't remember what it was)

She's cutting her 5th tooth and it hasn't been a pleasant experience.
I wish more teeth would come at the same time to get it over with.

Loves to copy Henry's elephant noise

MG's extremely determined.
She'll move mountains to get what she wants.
Don't try to take anything from her.... oooo wee, she'll squeal!

Found her bow

Tried several new foods this month.
Loves mozzarella cheese, cottage cheese, and yogurt.
Will eat broccoli.
Really liked red beans and rice, tilapia, and pasta.
Itty bitty grape pieces are a favorite snack.
Drinks well from a sippy cup.

Down to 2 naps.
She's a pretty good sleeper.
Margaret's started to do this squinty eye smile. I love it.




In 2 weeks, I'll do her 10 month post.... stay tuned. Margaret may or may not have taken 8 steps tonight :)

I'm with Jenny...8 steps?! We need more information!

I love Margaret's face when she imitates Henry's elephant noise. And her new smile face is adorable...she needs to show Evie how to make that one instead of the stink eye! : )
