9 months old!

Claire turned 9 months on November 25th. 9 months already, where is the time going?!?! She weighed 15lbs (5%) and is 26 1/4 inches (10%)....our little peanut :) Each month just gets better and better. She really is such a joy and so much fun. She loves pulling up and standing on whatever she can. She will also walk along whatever she is up on for a bit but just seems more interested in standing up and exploring whatever is up there. She has found some favorite books and will sit with you as you read them to her. She loves to find her favorites in the basket and pull them out for you to read. Molly loves to play keep away from her and the two of them will run/crawl back and forth, back and forth "playing" for a good while. It wears them both out :) She loves to wave. When she is crawling around and getting further away from you or heading into another room, she will stop, sit up, look back at you and wave. After you wave back, she will continue on her way to wherever she is headed. She also got her first tooth!! And the 2nd is on it's way. She had a rough couple of nights when it was coming in but all in all she did great. She still is chowing down on her beloved Cheerios, she could eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
