9 months old!

I can't believe my baby girl is 9 months old! I can't imagine our family with out her! She is so fun! Being my first girl I have already noticed a difference between her and my boys. She threw her first tantrum last month rolling on the ground and everything! I was laughing really hard.

Callie's 9 month stats:

weight- 16 lbs. 8oz (which is in the 10th percentile)

length- 27 3/4 in. long (average)

She has been waving Hi and Bye Bye for a couple months now. (And I PROMISE has even said Bye a couple times... Maryann is my witness!) Other then that her only words are Ma-Ma and Da-Da.

She lights up when anyone talks to her. I think she just loves attention.

She loves to clap her hands and give high fives.

She LOVES her brothers and wants to do whatever they are doing. Including playing outside! Callie would live outside if I let her. If she is being cranky and I can't get her to calm down all I have to do is step outside and immediately she is happy. When her brothers are outside she stands at the sliding glass door yelling and screaming, as if to tell them "How dare you leave me in here! Come save me!"

She doesn't want to eat babyfood all that often. She wants REAL food. It's really hard! I have to watch her like a hawk. I don't remember going through this with my boys. But maybe that's just because I have 2 little boys leaving crumbs behind for her to find.

She LOVES ice water. It's the funniest thing ever. If you are drinking water she gets really mad if you don't share!

She also LOVES the bathtub and bathroom. We have to be extra diligent about keeping that door shut. Everytime you walk by the bathroom she gets really happy and kicks her legs because she thinks you are going to give her a bath.
