9 months old!

Caroline is 9 months old today!

The biggest change since last month, is that we are completely done nursing! It was time, and we were both ready. I am definitely enjoying the "freedom of formula" and love that she can hold her own bottles!

Her hair is still crazy. Dark on top, light underneath. The toupee is in full effect. Mimi thinks I should trim it, but I am not quite ready for that!

She's quite social! She loves to wave "Hi" and "Bye" to everyone, and she still squawks at people everywhere we go. She also claps for herself all the time...its so funny!

She even talks to her own reflection.

She loves to feed herself, and eats pretty much whatever we give her. She especially loves the Gerber Lil Crunchies (which are like baby cheetos) and peaches. Forget about baby food...that is sooooooo last month ;)

I can eat all by myself!

She won't sit in her exersaucer anymore, but she loves to pull up on it and crawl under it.
Caroline is still crawling everywhere and pulling up on everything. She cruises around the furniture with increasing speed. She is starting to stand on her own a little bit, but she can't do it for long, so we have had a few tumbles (one resulting in a busted lip :( ouch!). But she usually just gets right back up and keeps going! She can also climb the stairs now...SCARY!

Here she is at work. She loves to push things around...her toy basket, laundry baskets, etc. I got her a little walk behind push toy, but that is nowhere near as exciting as baskets!! go figure.

One thing that hasn't changed is that she is a Daddy's girl. Here she is waiting for him to get home. Pretty darn sweet :) (sorry it's sideways)
