9 Months Old

We left our camera and a friend's place -- so no picture just yet. Faith is 9 months old today. Each day she uses her time to explore, explore, explore! We are enjoying her so much now as she stays awake longer and is more predictable. She still throws us curves ball every now and then, but the munchkin can always be calmed down by going into her crib and sleeping!

This month:
-flew on first trip to visit the Leungs in Maryland over Thanksgiving
-crawling so fast, loves to crawl underneath furniture
-can pull herself up from any position, especially likes the upstairs railings (easier to grasp?)
-sleeping from 6:30 to 7:30 without waking up for her feeds (usually)
-solids 3x times a day with some snacks inbetween; gave her meat and rice for the 1st time
-clapping on command and we "think" waving in response to other people waving at her
-babbling like crazy -- we think we've heard "hi" "mama" "dada" "buh buh" "mmmm"
-lost weight because she got sick for a week (bronchialitis & ear infection)
-currently weighing 15 lbs, 11 ounces (dr. concerned)
-hives and eczema appear
-allergic to penicillian, pineapples, cherries, berries
-hair is out of control (need to get it cut or commit to tying it back everyday)
-still crying in the church nursery and at the babysitter
-spending Xmas in Dallas
-1st tooth poked out (bottom right)
-stranger anxiety that is really, really bad
-no longer a baby =(

wow, faith's got her first tooth!! take pics =) i want to see...haha

she still weighs less than 16 pounds? wow, my baby's a giant compared to her. i think riley's 17 pounds. i just know she's getting heavier and heavier.

it was so great to see you and faith in houston! i'm glad that faith and riley got to "play" together for the first time. can't wait to see you guys in dallas and for them to interact again. hopefully they'll become bffs!!
