9 Months

I realized I never posted Sophie's 8 month pictures on the 8 month post.. Oops! Here they are:

Gotta love those chubby cheeks! :)

Well, the little bean is now 9 (1/2) months old! Here are some updates...

I went to go check on Soph during her nap, and this is what I found..

It's hard to tell in the picture, but she was sitting up, then slumped forward and fell asleep. So darn cute.

She is growing beautifully, and has stayed around the 50th percentile for height and weight

Sophie used to cry when strangers looked at her, now she LOVES people, which I am very happy about! She hams it up for people she doesn't know. She loves to pull a huge cheesy smile and put on a show for them. Only 9 months old and she already knows how to get people to melt and fawn all over her :)

She crawls like a madwoman now, and can walk around if she's holding on to something (usually the couch)

She absolutely loves being chased and throws herself into fits of giggles when Jonny chases after her. They always play this game where he crawls behind a corner, she starts to go after him, then he comes out (crawling) and chases her. She turns around, squealing, and tries to get away. She never gets very far though, because she usually ends up just falling to the ground, giggling :)

Sophie's laugh is hilarious. I need to get a video of it on here. Instead of a normal laugh, she sucks in air while making a squealish-type noise. She holds this for a few seconds, then does it over and over until she starts coughing. It is so funny!

Due to some constipation issues (poor girl) we have been trying to give her juice. We've tried prune, grape, and apple and she hates them all! What kind of kid hates apple juice?? It is so weird. Whenever we give it to her she pulls a face and won't let the bottle back in her mouth. Silly girl!

Oh my gosh. My daughter is heartless. She thinks crying is just about the funniest thing ever. Whenever she hears a baby cry she laughs so hard! When a baby starts to fuss or seems like they might cry, she gets a huge smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye and leans in, just waiting for the tears. It's kind of disturbing, but incredibly amusing at the same time :)

And here are her 9 month pictures...

Look at those teeth!

By the way, she was wearing her jeggings in these pictures (jean leggings) which are one of the greatest inventions ever for babies! When her regular jeans would fit her lengthwise, they would be so tight on her belly that we couldn't button them. If we did button them, she couldn't sit up because the pressure of the pants on her belly would make her topple over backwards :)
