9 months old!

9 months is such a fun age!  Reese's personality is really starting to show more and more.  She is such a sweet sweet baby.  She is mostly happy but if she has not had her naps...watch out! (Hahaha...so I just looked to see what I wrote last month about Reese and it was this almost word for word.) 
But it is so true- Reese is a sweetheart. 


Reese has really started getting attached to her daddy.  Clay and I both love this.  It is so sweet to see her look and reach for him, get excited when he comes home, and snuggle him. 
In fact, while we were at my parents for Christmas Clay and I went to the store.  When we came back Reese was scooting so fast toward me and I reached down to pick her up only to have her haul her tiny self right past me to Clay. 
She is still very into Riley and what Riley does but has become more independent lately.  She will play on her own for a few short minutes now. 




Reese is still taking two naps.  Both are usually good naps - anywhere from an hour and 15 mins to 2.5 hours.  She dives for the bed around 7 and does not like to be kept up past then.  She has only slept through the night a few times.  If she is not teething she sleeps like a champ but unfortunately she teeths for like 3 weeks per tooth and it seem like as soon as one comes another starts to come.

hey...


We had her 9 month well check a few weeks ago, she looked great except for the double ear infection she had (Riley had a double ear infection too!!! :( ) Clay and I had NO idea, but Reese did sleep some better after starting her medicine. 
Her stats:
weight - 17lbs 15.5 oz  (25%)
height - 28.25" (62.6%)
head circumference - 17 " (20%)





Some things Reese is up to this month:

-Went from army crawling to crawling on her knees
-Still babbles some and she loves to make these donald duck type sounds...they are hysterical
-Eats so well.  Peas, pears, sweet pot, hummus, she will pretty much try whatever we are eating
-She loves to hand things to people now.  Her favorite game right now is pass the toy.  She will go back and forth with me for minutes at a time.  :)
-Reese now responds to her name
