9 months!!

Alice turned 9 months on June 22nd! This has been a huge month for our little pumpkin. She is changing so much by the day and her personality is really beginning to show through. And what a personality it is! She LOVES to smile and is always happy. We feel so lucky to have such a happy little girl!

Some other milestones:

* No crawling, but she scoots around pretty well on her belly. She's also a rolling maniac when she's on the bed!

* She has 4 full teeth now

* She loves to make an "oh" face. It's too funny!

* She is learning to clap, though she doesn't really get when is the right time to do it.

* She has become a Cheerio fanatic. The girl can't get enough!

* She loves, loves, loves to be around other little kids. She gets very excited and yells and laughs. SO cute!

Update from doctor's appoint on June 30th:

Weight: 20 lbs (75th percentile)

Height: 26.5 inches (50th percentile)

Noggin: 47.5 cm (97th percentile)

She was all smiles at the doctor's office and had the nurse completely in love with her. She asked if she could come back every day!

I also wanted to share some of the out takes from this milestone picture. Here, like always, is what happens after the first shot is taken:

Another action shot:

Here's one with a new hairdo and crinkled sign:

The infamous "oh" face :)

Note the hair brush that was needed to keep her occupied:

Such an angelic little face!

Pigtails and teeth, teeth and pigtails

It took me bribing her with my Blackberry to get her to sit still, but I did it!! I think this is also one of the few shots I have with her showing her new chompers:

There are no pigtails or teeth in this picture, but I just thought it was cute and shows how big she's getting! She's starting to look less and less like an infant and more like a toddler!
