Mary Katherine turned 9 months old on September 2, 2007. My baby girl has now officially been outside of me as long as she was inside me. Prior to today she had belonged to me alone for longer than she belonged to the world. She is moving forward in her life with me (as her Mommy) and our time together becoming less and less a part of her entire existence. I can't help but feel that my littelest one is growing away from me bit by bit.
Despite those feelings she still wants Mommy as soon as I get home. She makes the sign for "num nums" whenever she is tired or wants comfort. She wants to be held all of the time...byt Daddy or Mommy. She had been saying "Dadda" a ;lot (since she was about 7 months....and then about a week ago, she pulled up on my leg and looked at me and said Mama. The next day she came crawling to me and said Mama...but she hasn't done that since.
She claps when you ask her to clap...and she waves hello whenever she sees someone that she hasn't seen for a while (like her Daddy whne he walks into the room after she wakesup from a nap...or whenever she sees her Nana. She does the sign for "doggie" and "light" and "book" and "num nums". She is cruising everywhere and can stand unassisted. She opens & closes her hand as her sign for "yes" (a sign that she invented herself in an attempt to communicate her feelings and needs.) She still seems uninterested in books. She still has 8 teeth.
She had her 9 month old appointment on September 4th. She weighs 19lbs even (7 1/2 lbs less than Jack at this age!). She is 29" tall and his head circumference is 48 cm. She is in the 55% in weight and 75% head size and 90% in height! Our sweet baby girl with the dark brown eyes and blonde hair. I can't believe she is 9 months old....it seems like just yesterday we were welcoming her to the world!
