9 Months

Doodle is 9 months old today.  She is 21 lbs, 3 ozs and 17 feet tall.  Ok, maybe not quite 17 feet... maybe only 12 and half.

She does, however, have 2 new teeth!  After a weekend of demon-possessed-goat baby, the second of her two teeth finally pushed through and our sweet angel returned to us.

She can do some serious business with her commando crawl.  She is really trying to pull her knees underneath her.  We keep thinking it will happen any day.  And I'm sure she'll walk right past me as soon as I post this.

Unfortunately, we are headed to the ENT.  When she started running fever again last week, we couldn't rule out her ears even though she is teething.  So we saved a co-pay and just called the doctor.  She confirmed that it only makes sense to head to the ENT.

Her new thing, that I could totally live without, is a temper tantrum.  If she doesn't get exactly what she wants, when she wants it, she throws her whole upper body back and flails around, while screaming.  I'm not sure how this started, but demon-possessed-goat baby debuted it this past weekend.

We tried a new vegetable last night - butternut squash.  Daddy didn't think she would like it, but she gobbled it right up.

It's fun to make her laugh... and I'm never quite sure what she'll find funny.  So I'm generally acting like an idiot in an effort to coax a giggle.

I guess it's time to really start planning that birthday party!!
