Nine Months!

Miss Mikaela Rayne is 9 months. She has grown so much again, starting to look a little older. 

*19 lbs

*27.5 inches

*Sleeping is better than what is was, still cries off and on during night but rarely do I have to go in. Still takes 2 naps (afternoon and a quick evening).

*6-9 months & 12 month clothes now. She is a little chunky monkey :) I love to squeeze those chipmunk cheeks!

*She is doing the normal crawl now :) She follows us to different rooms or just goes on her own. Getting fairly fast at it.

*Starting to stand more on her own and occasionally when she begins to topple over catches herself (without holding on) and back up. Can sit down from standing all on her own.

*She loves to climb! Climbs the steps and in/out of her pool. She likes to try to climb up on buckets and whatever is at her level. 

*Clapping like crazy, beginning to wave bye-bye (she doesn't do it consistent yet but we catch her occasionally doing it), says dada (when shes happy) and mama (when she's unhappy). She will babble and it almost sounds like she's saying brotha :)

*Very much drama, learning the word no and does not care for it ;) Has already begun if she doesn't get her way she screams. 

*Absolutely positively ornery! I thought Lucas was silly bad, but I'm beginning to feel he's not with her around! I would much rather be chasing her around saying no no no instead of being where we were a few months ago! That was mentally exhausting.

*Tummy aches have subsided, more and more of solid food she eats the better she gets.

*Loves the pool! She will sit in hers the entire time the boys are in there's just splashing away. The thought has crossed my mind when she gets crabby to bring the pool in ;)

*She has been fussy (diff type than before) off and on...I think those teeth are moving and she is not liking it. They get bumpy but I have yet to notice them being white or anything. Hopefully soon!

*Loves to dance and listen to music :)

All I can think of right now..on to some pictures :)

Little Miss Ornery!
