9 months old!

Well, I have been a little MIA lately but finally have a few spare mintes to post Zoey's 9 month pic. I pretty much gave up having her pose with the little signs because it is pretty impossible to even get her to sit still for the picture, so I know that sitting and holding onto the sign just would not happen.

So, here she is....9 months old today -such a big girl! Where did my little baby go?


This past month has been a big one! She has started crawling and pulling herself up and will cruise along holding onto the furniture or our hands. It's exciting, but exhausting! I can't turn away from her for even a minute because then she just doesn't stay put. So I spend a lot of the day chasing her around and trying to keep her from getting into things that she shouldn't. She also has finally got some teeth in. The two on the bottom have broken through. And another big milestone this month is that we started finger foods. Anytime I tried to feed her off the spoon, she would try to just grab the food off the spoon and then shove it in her mouth, so I started experimenting with just cutting up her food really tiny and letting her feed herself. She loves it and it's really surprising what she can handle eating. She eats pretty much all of her fruits and veggies in pieces rather than purees and she's also done some grains like Cheerios and toast. I feel like I'm always a nervous wreck when she is eating because I'm afraid she will choke, but she does really well.
