9 Months!

Here's our little girl at 9 months.
Height: 27 1/4 in (30%)
Weight: 17 lbs. 10.5 oz. (30%)

I need to use 2 spoons when feeding her. One I give to her so she can feed herself every few bites and the other one I use to feed her. If I don't give her one of her own she grabs for the one I'm using and won't give it back once she's put it in her mouth.

She loves to pull up on things to stand; chairs, coffee tables, couches, and people.

She gets excited to clap to "Patty cake." She still doesn't clap on her own but I clap her hands for her and she gets to about "mark it with a B" before she pulls her hands away because she's tired of clapping.

She loves to walk with help.
Daddy got Cambria her very first purse!


Whenever she wakes up she plays for a while and when she's ready to get out she stands up in her crib. I had to lower it since she's a climber now.


When I'm getting ready she crawls into our closet and plays. The first time she was in there she went straight for my most sassy pair of shoes.

She also likes to play in front of the mirror and kiss herself.

When trying to get her to crawl, placing toys in front of her won't work, but for any type of cord or dad's work bag she'll get moving right away.


A quick way to get her to calm down is to play "this little piggy" with her toes.

She adores playing with her daddy.

She has a new nickname "Cambri bear" which came about because of this coat she was wearing one day.
In addition to baby food she eats little pieces of cheese, grapes, and usually gets to try whatever mom and dad are eating. Sometimes she gets an occasional lick of a popsicle and other treats.

Some b&w's:
