9 Months

Bailey turned 9 months on November 1st. I can't believe how fast the time has flown by. It feels like yesterday that I was sitting in the NICU wishing I could hold her. She is growing up so fast! She has two teeth now and is sitting up like a pro. She doesn't seem to be in any hurry to roll or crawl. She will move around and seems to get herself stuck a lot. Moving backwards is her speciality. One of these days she will take off and we are going to be in trouble. I think she is going to be a mischievous little girl. She keeps a close eye on her big sister. She has turned into a mommy's girl and will cry when I walk out of the room. Good thing she's so cute! At her 9 month Dr. Appointment he said that she is doing good. Nice and healthy. He would like to get her to gain a little weight so we will work on that. It's hard now that she has decided she doesn't really want baby food anymore. He did give me to go ahead to feed her almost anything she wants.

Her stats are:

Weight: 17 lbs (25%)

Height: 28 1/2 inches (75%)

Head: 44 (50%)

She is such a joy and we love having her in our home. I love all the noises she makes and I especially love her little laugh. I do wish she would snuggle more but she's far too busy for that. I have to admit to holding her while she sleeps when I get the chance.

Scott called me today to tell me that Bailey had her first "accident". She fell off our bed this morning. I figured that she might have a little bump but didn't expect to see this when I picked her up. Her little face looks so sad! My camera faded the red a little so this picture doesn't do it justice. Poor girl! Her first of many I'm sure. (Just glad it happened on daddy's watch and not mine.)
