A Whole Bag Full of Tricks

Princess is 9 months and can do all sorts of tricks except sleep through the night. That little stinker. We celebrate the days she sleeps more than 2 hours. It's a good thing she's so cute. She has taken to sleeping on her belly with her hands tucked up under her face. Makes for some interesting marks on her face when she wakes.

Princess is a champion crawler and spends most of her day chasing mom around in hopes she will hold her. Mom now spends most of her day trying to keep the floors clean.

Princess is very aware of when Dad comes home and will start fussing if he doesn't come say hi. She loves to wave to him, while mom is holding her of course.

 

She is finding  all sorts of new places to play.

Often makes a back of throat growl sound when playing

and can pull herself to a standing position.

The only problem is she thinks she can stand so she lets go and of course falls down. 

 

Thus sporting a few bruises (the first of many, I'm sure).

She isn't cruising yet, but as you can see standing isn't too far away. 

Thank goodness she hasn't attempted the stairs yet.

And finally, she will eat solid foods! Well, only if she can feed it to herself and if she likes it. So far cheerios and Gerber yogurt snacks are okay. Still not a big fan of the spoon. We will take any success for it gives us hope that some day she will stop nursing. Not really trying to do this now but need hope that someday it will happen. Especially since mom just got to asked to go to girls camp this summer. We have seven months to get this kiddo prepared to survive with dad.
