9 Months

Britton is 9 months old. Time is flying by. I have to tell you that I love the 9 month well check, because there are no scheduled shots. That said, Britton did get the first of her flu shots so there was a little trauma. She is 29 inches tall and 19 lbs 8 oz. Compared to the other kids, she is 1/2 an inch shorter than William was and 5 oz lighter. She is 1/2 an inch taller than Caitlyn was and 13 oz heavier. So she is no longer the lightest. She is happy for the most part. She likes to play Peekaboo, clap and laugh. Sometimes she laughs so hard she squishes her whole face and snorts through her nose.
Britton is on the move. She finally started crawling around the second week in August. When she first started crawling she got inside this toy and freaked out because she couldn't get out of it. I wish I had taken a picture then cause it was really funny but this is later when she could get out all by herself.

Britton new trick is to use things to stand up. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it is semi stable. She can't do anything once she is up but she likes to be on her feet. This means that Caitlyn's hair is no longer out of reach when she is in bed. Now Britton stands up at the head of the bed and pulls her hair while I read to the kids.

It's official, Britton is tall enough to play the piano. She discovered that she could pull herself up by the bench and reach the day that we went to the doctor's. Now it is her favorite thing to do. I don't know why my kids are tall, I know I'm not, but I still say keep them short as long as you can. But it won't be long now till she is one. Crazy!

She's growing up fast! And way cute! Look at all that hair! (Maybe it is relative. Bryce has none...)
