9 Months

Ryann's first birthday is creeping up way too fast! My baby girl is almost 10 months old. But since I am so late (again) in getting up her 9 months post, lots has happened. At her 9 month check up she was...
20 lbs 9oz
28 inches
She has actually slipped below the 90th percentile, closer to 80th now. Our chunky girl is thinning out.She is the proud smiling girl of 4 teeth with 4 more coming in. This pictures show her one side top tooth, but she also has the front tooth next to it too. I didn't even know it had come in or was coming in till I was showing my friend her one tooth and then saw the other one too.Ryann's hair is long enough that she gets bed head. I actually have to make sure the brush it down now. You can kinda see her bed head in this picture.Ryann FINALLY will hold her own bottle and at times gets upset if you don't let her do it. She is so curious with what is going on that sitting up and eating is a common thing for her to do.
Ryann can sit herself up, I am happy she learned this so that she is no longer fussing at me to sit her up. She army crawls with the best of them and at times will actually crawl. It is not a common thing for her to do yet, but she does it. Rolling and army crawling just get her to where she wants to be faster.Her favorite activity is to pull out her toy box and pull all the toys out of it. But it doesn't even have to be her toy box, she just loves to find a box and pull the stuff out of it.
Ryann is also very helpful with making sure all the laundry is clean and folded correctly. She also enjoys helping me pull it out of the basket.Ryann is our curious little girl. She is quickly getting into things and exploring the world around her. She loves to eat finger food much better than mashed up baby food and can drink out of a straw. She is still just such a happy baby and still sleeping through the night which makes for a happy mommy.
