Nine Months

Ellie turned 9 months old yesterday.  She doesn't go to the doctor for her 9 month check up until next week.  I'll update with her progress then.  Until then, here's what she's been up to:

Playing with her hippo/dragon after church on Easter
  • Moving all around -- crawling, cruising, you name it, Ellie is doing everything but walking (though her Daddy did see her take a couple of steps without holding on, it was an isolated event)
  • Standing on her own (no hands!) for 10-15 seconds
  • Screaming!
  • Giving high fives
  • Understanding the word, "No!" (though she doesn't always listen)
  • Mastering that pincer grasp and self-feeding
  • Teething -- 4 teeth to date, including the 2 bottom front and 2 top incisors (Ellie's vampire teeth!)
  • Holding her bottle
  • Giving kisses (say "gimme a kiss" and she'll lean right in a kiss ya)
  • Finding her independence and entertaining herself through play
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

These peas are so good I'm going to scream!  Because that's what I do, happy, sad, angry, it doesn't matter, listen to how loud I can be!

Somehow Ellie managed to switch places with Mauja and got on the outside of her playroom, while Mauj got locked in.

Happy Easter!


Showing off those teeth!

Being a baby is HARD work!

Whatcha got in your mouth?  Can I have it? 

So serious!
