9 months

Belated post of Maddie's 9 month photos! It's getting harder and harder to take pictures of her, now that she's crawling and curious and unwilling to sit still. She's much more aware and capable: for example, I put her "9" sticker on a pillow behind her, like I have in previous months, but she immediately spied it and tore it off and crumpled it up. So...no number sticker in this month's pictures! Haha. Big developments this past month: her appetite for solids has increased, she crawls efficiently, she can pull herself up on the furniture and cruise, and she can even stand for 10 seconds by herself! We just might have an early walker on our hands! She can clap her hands, though waving hi/bye is still very hit or miss. She enjoys exercising her lungs, but still no dental or labial consonants.
