Happy 9 Month Birthday!!!

It’s beginning to look a lot like your birthday hehehe.

 Stats

Alice you weigh 19.6 pounds (66%), 28.2 inches long (74%) and your head circumference is 17.5 inches (64%).  You wear size 6-9 month onsies and size 9 month pants.  You can still wear jackets and coats anywhere from 6 months to 12 months depending on the brand.  You are wearing hats like a champ too!

Firsts

You had your first multi person bath.  You and your cousin Luke took a bath together and he taught you to flop on your tummy and play with toys in the tub!  You tried your first solid food, these little cereal type things that mostly dissolve in your mouth, and you loved it.   You are starting to walk while holding peoples hands or stationary objects, you seem to enjoy it and do it daily. You went to your first Christmas party.  You went to the party with mom but spent most of the time hanging out with your boyfriend Sam. You two are two months apart and seem to really enjoy each others company which is awesome to watch.   While there you opened your first present, you didn’t quite understand what to do but uncle Dalan and cousin Quinn helped! That same day, December 8, 2012, while you went to your first tire store with mom I found that your first tooth came through!  It is your bottom front, right side.  It is a sharp little sucker and super cute.  You had your first bubble bath and loved it.  You still like your baths but now require toys.  You started to play with Sir Winston, really play with him.  You will take his toys and crawl towards him, get his attention and then play tug of war.  You giggle and squeal and he is very gentle.

Ticks

You are a dare devil!  You love to climb on anything and everything.  You are so smart and figure things out quickly, you started clicking your tongue after listening to Quinn and Grandma singing songs.  You learned to say wow and are saying it constantly now that there are Christmas lights up.  You have started to rub your bottom lip on your new tooth, which pushes your bottom lip out till it almost touches your nose.  You have started growling at everything and everyone, you are always happy when doing it and it makes everyone smile and laugh. You have started “dancing” to music.  You bounce your legs and move your head around until the music stops and often times you are pretty close to being on beat.  You are also starting to wave at people.  You move your hand open and closed, but it is usually facing you and you do this not only to say hi or by to people but also just when you are hanging out by yourself.

Other Things

Alice you are a strong and adorable little girl.  You are still talking and singing all the time.  You continue to love being in public and thrive on others attention.  You are so interested in playing with others.  You pester Quinn to play with you all the time and you pulled her over this month when she just wanted to play on her own.  You can push chairs across the floor to get to what you want.  Alice you are still a fun, loving, smart and active little girl.  Mom and Dad love you so much and can’t believe you are getting so big.  We can’t wait to see what you learn and do next!!!

Love

Mom and dad
