Hailey's 9 month birthday

We've been on the road a lot lately and wanted to update you on what Hailey has been up to. She's 9 1/2 months already and is growing so fast!

-She has two bottom teeth, and another just came in on the top

-Hailey bear is crawling everywhere at lightning speed

-She stands up next to her toys, and every once in a while will stand up on her own for a few seconds and then fall down on her bum

-She loves people! She loves to laugh and giggle and it is the cutest thing (o:

-For a while she was laughing with the back of her throat which made it sound like she was choking.

-Her favorite thing to play with is a toy that Matt and Dina bought her for Christmas. It has balls that make noise when you jingle them

-At her doctor's appointment, she weighed in at 17 lbs, gaining only a few ounces since her last appointment at 6 months. I guess that is an indication of how active this precious child is! She grew 2.25 inches and still has a tiny nugget.

-She is down to only one nap during the day (sigh), but at least its a long one! She makes up for it by sleeping 12 hours straight at night.

-Her favorite food right now is tofu (go figure!), but it is easy to pick up and she likes the texture.

-She is eating dairy now and loves cheese and yogurt...not such a big fan of cottage cheese.

-Hailey still won't take a bottle, but she will use a sippy cup for water and mommy milk so that works!
