Yep you guessed it our little Peanut. Doesn't it seem like we were just 9 months pregnant and waiting for that day our bundle of joy was going to be born. Now she is 9 months old. I can't believe it is even possible that she has been around this long already. Grace is just growing and changing so fast. Each day seems like it is flying by, but each day is so exciting with our baby girl around. She is always doing something new. Now when Grace wakes up and yells for us to come get her we find her sitting up in her crib waiting for us. Just this week she has figured out how to pull her self up to standing in her crib. Time to lower the crib. This girl still does not crawl but she sure gets around. Grace gets into the crawling position and usually backs up. So i guess she kind of crawls backwards a little bit. She also loves to sit on the floor with her toys and play and sometimes she likes to try to play with daddy's toys. Grace had her 9 month check up, she only got one shot this time but she still didn't like it very much. So how big is Grace now, well she weighs 18 lbs 6 oz and is 27 inches long. She is getting bigger but staying on the smaller side, she is below 50% on her height and weight on the growth chart. Grace is working on learning to feed herself. Using a eating utensil is alright but she isn't really digging the sippy cup, she would rather play with it. We will just have to keep working with her and eventually she will get the hang of it. Well all is going well and always staying exciting.
