9 months old

Today Sophie turned 9 months old.  I truly feel like I was just posting her 8 month update.  We had a wellness check up at the doctor's office and she is progressing as well as one could.

Here are her stats:

Weight: 19 lbs 3oz (65%)

Height: 28.5" (82%)

Head Circumference: 43.5cm (42%)

 

Besides these amazing stats, she is progressing so much just in the last couple of weeks.  As I had posted last week, she started crawling.  Well, she's completely got the hang of it now and wants to go any and everywhere we are.  So look out!  And now that she has started crawling, she also wants to stand and try to walk.  If she is near you she will pull herself up to standing.  Pretty soon she'll be cruising along the couch.  She's also discovered dancing, when there is music playing in the back ground or if you sing to her. Last but not least, she has also figured out how to wave with her hand.  Not only that, but she associates it with "Hi" and Bye-Bye" as well.  Dare I say it, but she might be even smarter than Caleb, which I didn't think was possible.  She'll be chasing him and talking over him in no time.  I've included some videos to show all the wonderful things she is doing now.
