9 months old (aka 3/4 of a year!!!)

Today, Gabby turned 9 months old. I'm not sure where the time has gone, but she's getting big!

At 9 months old, Gabriella:
~ weighs about 19lbs
~ started crawling just a few days ago
~ still only rolls leading with her right arm (as in, from her back, rolls to the left. From her tummy, rolls to the right)
~ can go from sitting to laying/rolling and back up to sitting. And is sometimes sitting when I go to get her from her crib!
~ has 2 teeth (bottom center) and 3 more on the way (we think - the two on either side of the bottom center two, and the top right center one)
~ loves to sit on the floor and kick the floor with her heels
~ loves to clap her hands together, and loves it when you clap back at her!
~ loves anything technology



~ will eat just about any pureed veggie, will feed herself peas, nutrios, shredded cheese, LOVES yogurt, cut up cucumber and bell peppers, cooked pasta... she's well on her way to eating most anything.
~ loves her sippy cup, still is a boob&water girl
~ HATES having her face (nose/mouth/whatever) wiped with a cloth, and will fight it with squirms and arm-flailing, and some whining.
~ Does "the lean" - a few weeks ago at church, we were sitting on the back bench and Gabby was doing "the lean". When we looked over, 5 adults were all doing "the lean" back at her! What a leader... :) We've caught her "leaning" to look sideways at the cat, and she will lean back and forth during meals in her high chair!
~ loves books, can turn the pages of her board books by herself
~ has so many fun faces




~ is super-fascinated by the television, and if it's on and you get between her and IT, she will LEAN around you to see better.
~ loves her dollies, and when you make them squeak, she lights up every time
~ loves her piano (a xylophone with keys)
~ has a nice new rug to play on, but more often than not will scoot OFF of the rug and onto the bare hardwood to pound her heels on the floor and do her "martial arts" yell. I'm certain our neighbors below really enjoy it.



All in all, she's a ton of fun and we're glad we have her :)
