Happy 9 Months!

Our "Slippery" is 9 MONTHS OLD!! That means in THREE months she will be
ONE YEAR OLD!
Where is this year going!?!?

• Slip-Slip as we affectionately call her, is a very busy baby indeed.

• She loves to climb, walk with your help or around furniture, crawling is a breeze. And food, anything you put in front of her she will eat! (and that is with NO teeth.) - my friend told me she would do great at a smorgasbord and I have to agree.

• She is also super at drinking from a sippy cup and really enjoys it, not having to wait for you to give her a drink. (She can be impatient at times, but I think that has to do with her not being a crabby baby, she waits until she is beyond hungry to tell you she is and then it is all demands until that first sip or first bite)
  

• She loves anything her sister does - well almost anything. Miss M does hurt Slip-Slips feelings sometimes and she does let you know!

• She will cry when I leave a room, but is quick to smile when I peak back around the corner.

• She loves to be-bop to music and loves it when you sing. I think that is why she enjoys visiting primary and nursery - for the fun songs the kids sing.
  

• She enjoys playing by herself or with friends especially Miss Katelyn. They are SO cute playing together.
  

• She loves to be read to and loves to look at board books. (and rip apart magazines)
  

• Her vocabulary is expanding. She has many more sounds she makes. Dada, up, Ma mee - but don't be confused, that is not Mommy she is saying, it is Marlee. She will make the Mama sound when she is crying, and that is ok with me - I just know she wants me ; )
