Happy 9 Months, Reese!

This month:

*Reese started doing "tricks", like clapping, playing Pat-A-Cake, waving (sometimes) and giving hugs on command (laying her head on your chest)

*She began pulling up to standing and now stands unassisted for several seconds at a time

*She started the month blowing raspberries and then moved to an inverted kissing sound

*She has one word - only one: "Ut-oh".  Sometimes she'll say "Dada" but not usually on command and it's still debatable if it she knows the significance of the word yet

*She had her second ear infection, and once again we only knew something was wrong when her eyes started gooing.  Such a good baby, even when sick!

*She's up to two bottles a day

*She has 6 teeth - 4 up top and two on bottom

*She weighs 18 pounds 3.5 ounces (37th %tile) and is 28 inches long (64th %tile)

*She impressed the doctor when she stole his tongue depressor and tried to take his pen out of his pocket as he was examining her.  His comment: "Wow.  You really are... 9 months old, aren't you?"  Apparently the nicest way he could think to state how busy and curious our little missy is!

Reese is so close to being a one-year-old and a walker.  We're eating up every giggle, every toothy grin, and every squeal because it's flying by!

Happy 9 months, Reese!
