9 moths old!!!!

This little lady turned 9 months old on the 2nd of January. she is getting so big and so stinking smart!!! She says mama, dada, hi, night night, more, yummm, bye bye, bruba (brother0 and even combined her first two words to say bye bye dada. Seriously she is out of this world when it comes to talking. Our pediatrician said she is more like 15 month developmentally wise not 9 months old makes for one proud mama! She also waves bye bye, give and gives  the biggest hugs and kisses. Her new foods this month were blueberries, pineapples, gerber baby snacks, crackers and we let her try a Popsicle for her teeth that are trying to come in. She can sit up from laying down, she crawls backwards, scoots forwards, is standing up and holding onto things with out being held onto and takes steps while holding our hands. She loves to read stories, sing songs, play with her babies, she will hug and kiss her babies when she gets a hold of them.  She loves to grab anything and everything in sight. We started introducing the sippy cup which she is really liking. At her 9 month appointment she weighed in at 16 lbs. 15 oz which is 20%, is 28 inches long which is 65%. She is wearing size 6-9 month clothes, size 2 diapers and size 2 shoes.  She is getting such a little personality and already shows some signs of attitude here and there which is so stinking funny. Im sure when shes two we wont think so but for now its adorable. We continue to fall more and more in love with this little lady each day. She is such a  little spit fire and so lovey all at the same time. We love her to pieces and wouldn't trade her for anything!!

We also had her follow up appointment with the cardiologist and he says her heart is sounding good. He still hears the murmur but he isnt super worried about it. We will follow up again in 6 months and this year sometime they will do an test that she will need to be sedated for to look at the heart and make sure what hes hearing is correct. He wants to wait until RSV season is over though and she is a bit bigger to make sure she does ok with the sedation. Good news so far. We will continue to pray that all goes well with her sweet little heart!
