9 Months (aka 2006 3rd Quarter Report)
I'm a little late on posting your nine month update, but you've been doing so much lately that it's hard to keep up with you.
First for the obligatory statistics: you are now 29.5 inches (97%) tall and weigh 22.7 pounds (90-95%). You've grown 1.5 inches and gained 4 pounds in the past three months.
You crawl EVERYWHERE, but it's not the typical crawl. In true Georgia style you have a completely unique technique: both hands on the floor (often making cute little smacking noises as you move along), one foot on the floor and one knee being dragged along behind. It's not much different than a crab walks. I'll give you credit, though, because it enables you to drag along toys, books, fur balls, etc., as you move.
You have two bottom teeth now and I suspect you'll sprout a third before Thanksgiving. Smart move in preparation for turkey dinner. At nine months you can eat just about anything other than nuts and eggs, so Thanksgiving will be a food wonderland for you.
With your toothy grin and new mobility, it's almost like we have a new baby. We're accustomed to setting you down and returning to you being in the same position. Now we'll put you down in the living room, head to the kitchen to make you a bottle and find you curiously poking your head around the corner. We've just gotten used to seeing those little chicklet teeth when you smile, and now it seems you'll be adding more.
You have become so much fun in the past couple of weeks. You'll crawl right up to us, pull up and hug us! You even give kisses...at least we think that's what you're doing when you bang your head against us (or the dogs, or the tables, etc.).
Screaming. You seem to have discovered a new vocal range and enjoy showing it off. Please stop.
The dogs are enjoying your existence a lot more now that you are eating finger foods. We often look over to see you tossing scraps of food to the pups. Of course, they have learned to hover around your highchair as you eat anticipating your leftovers. They've also become quite helpful to us as well, licking the floor clean when something spills so we don't have to mop it up.
You're growing like mad and outgrowing your clothes quickly. You're so tall that 12 month pants are a little short for your long legs. We're hoping your Christmas dress still fits by the time you get to wear it.
You are nothing but a joy to us (except when screaming) and we feel so thankful to have you to entertain us this Thanksgiving.
