*Happy 9 Months Abigail!*

Happy 9 Months old Abigail! Wow has time flown by… I can remember being pregnant with her and here we are 18 months after I found out she would be coming into the world and she is now such her own little person.
I didn’t update on 8 months because she was in the middle of some transitions and so there wasn’t much to report at the time (I think that is the reason why…). But boy I have lots to report at 9 months! I was going to do this blog a few days early because I had some cute photos from this past weekend, but I decided to wait because I knew she was going to be doing some amazing things here coming up. I was right too! Two days ago she took her first ‘real’ steps at home. She was coerced into it though, so I’m still waiting for her to do it all on her own… or dreading it. She has also started really teething on her top teeth. They are SO close to coming through! We can see the white under her pink little gums. I hope that for her sake they come through and aren’t too painful! I don’t remember Hunter’s teeth being that big, but I suppose they were.
Her personality is just too funny. She LOVES to keep up with her brother. Tonight he was running circles around her back and forth and screaming, and oh boy you should have seen her! I’ve never seen a baby crawl so darn fast just to keep up! She was screaming right along with him and oh was she giggling! It was adorable. She loves to giggle. She is drawn to anything that is fun, loud, and plays music. She loves to dance, wiggle and jiggle.
Here is what she is doing:
- She plays “SO BIG!!!” and puts her hands up high in the air!
- She plays patty cake and claps her hands (she also claps when you say YAY ABBY!)
- She loves socks, loves to chew on them, suck on them, and most of all, NOT when you are wearing them (which is great!)
- She can say dada, papa, mama (yay!), baba, nana, and lots of other a-a sounds
- She eats stage 3 baby food and some table food with her fingers
- She can walk along the furniture great, crawl all over the place, get out of anywhere, and into anything
- She is not as much of a cuddler as her brother is- she would rather be doing something
- Excitement excites her, she just loves to have a reason to smile and laugh… and sometimes she doesn’t have a reason to smile or laugh and does anyway.. which ends up making us laugh too!
