Sofia: 9 Months

I took Sofia in for her 9 month checkup last month. Sigh. Time is flying by so quickly it seems. She started out our biggest baby but has tapered off to be our most petite. Here are her stats:

• Height: 28" (70%)
• Weight: 17lbs 11.5oz (45%)
• Head: 45.5cm (90%)

Here are some things that she is doing:

• crawls all over
• walks around furniture and while you are holding her hands
• loves to "talk", especially to other babies
• says "dada", "mama", "num num", "nigh nigh", "no no", and "ba ba" (ball)
• loves to look at herself in the mirror.
• reaches for and grabs anything and everything that she's close to.
• smiles and laughs all the time, but especially at her siblings.
• has a stubborn streak and a firmly resists doing things that she doesn't want to do. Don't ever play chicken with her, she will beat you. ;o)
• she LOVES to be in the water - playing in the pool, bath tub, toilet, etc.
• she still has no teeth (not even at 10 1/2 months) but loves to eat "big people" food
• she has started liking her sippy cup but still refuses a bottle
