nine months.

Wow, I cannot believe Emma Kate is already nine months old. I promised myself I would slow down and enjoy every moment with her, but it still seems to fly by at lightning speed.

At nine months, Emma Kate has 2 teeth, the bottom two which she got at 7 months, and is working on four more. (Doesn't teething seem to last forever?) She is crawling fast, pulling up on everything, standing unassisted for short bursts, but no steps yet. I'm sure she will be walking soon! She loves to eat. She started solids at six months, I started weaning her from breast milk at seven months, and she was weaned completely at eight months. She's doing great on formula and solids. Her favorites are carrots, sweet potatoes, and puffs. She loves to clap and dance, chase P's remote control car, and pull up on the back doors and watch/talk to the dogs. She's extremely social, never meets a stranger. She wakes up going 100 miles per hour and doesn't stop until her head hits her pillow. She's bubbly, chatty, and laughs a lot. We love our sweet little girl to pieces.
