9 MONTHS OLD!!!

Gracie is 9 months old today....she's still the happiest baby I've ever met. She's curious and a little mischievous, but always happy. She has 2 teeth and I keep thinking the 3rd is on its way. Gracie still loves anything her big sister does, she's becoming a great crawler and is starting to try and pull herself up. She is doing pretty good with baby food and a little table food, but she still really prefers her bottle. She loves anything with blueberries, bananas, squash or spinach in it and her new favorite treat is mac and cheese.  She's a great sleeper and still wants 2 or sometimes even 3 naps a day. She loves bouncing in her bouncer or strolling in her walker, no matter what she's doing her legs are constantly moving. She's still not much of a snuggler, she wants to be close to you and to "talk" to you, but she doesn't really want to be held. I think she's going to be an independent little girl, just like her big sister. She says "mamama" and "dadada", not always to the right person, but she's getting more accurate. She is great at clapping and her sister works with her every day on her waving.  It's so fun to watch her grow and we are so blessed to have both our wonderful girls.
