9 Months

Lola bear is nine months. She hasn't had her check-up yet, so the update on her weight and length will have to wait until next week. She's growing up so fast! It's so much fun. I think her top teeth are beginning to bother her. That means they will be cutting through pretty soon! She is such a happy baby. I think I've almost got her to start clapping! she grasps her hands together and shakes them up and down; but I think that's her way of clapping. And, she is quickly learning what "no" means. While she is crawling and creeping around, she is of course, into everything! She is so close to walking, too. She stood by herself two times already. Once was on our bed, which was quite a wobbly attempt. The next she stood in front of the couch. She let go of my hands and stood there! I swear it seemed like a long time, but I'm sure it was a short 3-5 seconds. The next step is to take a step! I'm both excited and scared! We're going to have to start chasing her around pretty soon. Fun!

This is her mischevious look.
