9 months

Emily had her 9 month doctor appointment today.

The stats: She is almost 17 pounds and is 27 inches long. She is a little shorter and the same weight as Andrew was at the same age. Her head is 17 inches around, but unless you are buying her hats that info is probably of little use.

Her latest trick is crawling... she has been doing the low "commando" crawl for a while now but this week she decided it was faster up on her knees. She is showing more interest in getting to things up above her - remotes, bags on chairs, books on the shelves, etc so I am sure pulling up is not too far down the road. She loves playing with her toys - she has a fisher price house that she loves to push the door bell and other buttons on and she eats the mail that goes in the mailbox. Pretty much everything goes in her mouth first.

She is eating really well -- about half baby food and half table food right now. She has never really been a big fan or jarred food so mostly I mash up what we eat. We went out for Sushi this week and she and Andrew ate a noodle bowl. She just slurped them up.

I have posted a picture of Emily from this week and one of Andrew at this age.

They look sooo much alike, especially in the eyes in this picture...I love the happy expressions that your children always seem to have. Good job!!
