9 Months Old

Karis is 9 months old. WOW! She has now been alive outside of the womb for as long as she was inside the womb! The 9 months with her sure have been faster than the pregnancy :)  She is such a sweetheart and I love every moment with her! It is so fun to watch her develop and grow and see her own unique personality evolve. Here are some of the things she has started doing in the 9th month:

She gives kisses! When you ask for a kiss she leans in and puts her open, slobbery mouth on you(or more often on the dog or cat!).

She plays Peek A Boo on her own! We used to put something over her head and ask "where's Karis?" then pull it off and say "there she is!". Then she started pulling it off on her own. But now she will find a towel or piece of clothing, lift it so it's covering her face (or she lifts it too high so it's above her head, which is even funnier!) then quickly pulls it down while smiling when we say "there she is!". So. Incredibly. Cute. 

Not crawling!

But she can sometimes pull to a stand. And she sure is mobile. She always gets to where she wants to go, just not by crawling! Stubborn little baby ;)

Starting to like some food. She likes tomato and apples. Loves my smoothies. And will eat a little bit of avocado and sweet potato. Still only consumes less than an ounce of "real" food a day though.

She has 4 teeth that are about to surface.

I *think* she just started waving, but I am not completely convinced even though other people have told me that she is.

She understands the signs for milk, sleep/nap, car/driving, poopy, and diaper change.
