9 Months & Pre-Christmas Fun!

Lily was 27 inches and 17 lbs, 10 ounces at her 9 month appointment. She just got one shot and she seemed pretty happy about that! She has changed so much in the last month, it is nuts! I think she was mostly army crawling last time I posted? She is crawling around on all fours now and does it about as fast as I walk! She really moves! She started a few weeks ago holding on to things and taking steps. Now she tries to run while she moves from object to object. Sometimes the objects she chooses aren't so strong. She has landed in funny situations several times. She stands up for a few seconds on her own and seems to have much more control over her movements.

She is obsessed with bike riding. She doesn't even mind the helmet so much anymore. She looks around at everything and just giggles. Sometimes she puts her hands down by her side to touch my knees as they peddle. Her little laugh is so infectious!

A few weeks ago Lily got to play with Nana & Pop while JF and I went to lunch with some friends. They got to take her to play day at MyGym and they signed her up for the Christmas Party. JF and I took Lily this afternoon. There were a lot of bigger kids there and she was mesmerized by them playing. She did get some hardcore playing in still though ;) She even got her first gingerbread cookie! Like always, she had a blast in the balls. I wish I could have sanitized her mouth though. She has this new thing sticking out her tongue real far when she laughs. She kept getting way too close to the plastic balls with it lol. She also got some great walking practice in while pushing around a large ball. Thank goodness we got that on video ;)

She got to see her little uncles, Mimi, Pepaw and all of her Bailey family peeps for her first Thanksgiving. She stayed home while Pepaw and I went Black Friday shopping :)

Some of the things she has enjoyed this month are getting into anything and everything she can and walks with Nana! She even found one of her Christmas presents while crawling around the house.
She saw Santa Clause at the mall. She didn't cry, but she wasn't too impressed with him. She also got her first pair of shoes at Stride Rite! She wants to walk around everywhere we go and doing it in her socks or bare feet in public isn't going to cut it for me lol.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!
