Allie turned 9 months old on Saturday. She's developed such a distinct personality that is a tad bit stubborn mixed with a lot of sweetness, a little aggression, and lots of silly. She's a happy girl 90% of the time and the other 10% she's either tired or hungry. I definitely can't complain about that. She gets quiet around strangers, but as soon as she warms up, she steals the show with her loud squeals and bright smiles. She's so sweet when she wants to be and loves to give Mommy & Daddy kisses (open mouth. with tongue. we're in BIG trouble). She loves dogs now, though they're still not crazy about her. And she loves other babies/kids, but they aren't too sure about her either. She's a little on the aggressive side and I'm not sure other kids & animals know what to think about her. But look how cute she is, how could you not love those sweet chubby cheeks and thighs?
We're still working on crawling. She started army crawling yesterday, has been "scooting" backwards for about a week, and assumes the "crawling position"...but more on crawling in a later post. She's still standing up pretty strong and tries really hard to pull herself up on the coffee table and her crib. For awhile there I thought she'd be walking before she crawled. Speaking of walking, Allie got another new toy this weekend, a new walker. I'm not sure it will actually help her learn to walk, but she seems to have a blast in it, and it's a nice little babysitter for me while I'm trying to do other things around the house.
She loves sitting in her big girl chair on the front porch with Daddy.
Next up, we have to seriously think about child proofing. I honestly don't even know where to begin. Gives me anxiety just thinking about it.
