9 Months

Well Katie is 9 months old.  She has grown so much since those first few days in the hospital, but she is still our little peanut.

Oh my!  Katie still loves her thumb and she still has the sweetest dimples.  She is working on growing out her hairs and sprouting her teeth.  We now have a couple bottom teeth!!!  She is almost ready to order steaks. 

Katie is very talkative and smiley.  Still a happy baby even when Jacob is always saying "no no Katie don't touch that".  Katie hears that so often that those may even be her first words.

 

Right now we are working on those consonant sound babbles, but I am sure sentences are close.  We are also very excited about your first Christmas coming up.  Katie is especially excited to chew on Jacob's new toys!

Katie's favorite book is "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" that Aunt Denise brought over.  She gets so excited that she swings her hands around......it may be beautiful bright colors.....

or possibly how perfectly the corner fits in Katie's mouth!  What a delicious book.

Katie is still our petite baby in 6 month close and size 2 diapers.
In other big news, Katie loves to "walk".  She leads you where she wants to go and loves to go into the bathrooms and look into the bathtubs!  She also really enjoys her baths and LOVES to splash water.  By the time she is done, all the observers are as wet as if we had taken a bath as well.

Our sweet girl is also starting to feed herself puffs!!!  Those teeth are coming in and Katie has been shoving everything into her mouth.  Jacob is not loving this phase and prefers that Katie not eat his trains.  Maybe Santa will bring her some toys to chew on!
