And so it begins...

Lauren is now 9 months old! At her well-baby check up, she weighed 20 lbs. and 6 oz, which brought her down from the 97th percentile (at her 6 month check up) to the 85th, so apparently crawling is doing her some good! She is 27 1/2 inches tall, which still puts her around the 50th percentile for height. She crawls all over the place and has started pulling herself up on everything! She is going to take off one of these days trying desperately to keep up with her big sisters. Currently, one of her favorite things to do is to take all the movies off the shelves and chew on them...everything goes in the mouth of course! She still prefers to get milk from mom, whether it's in a bottle or otherwise. But we are working on her taking a bottle from someone besides me. The dogs food and water bowls have also become a favorite of hers to play with. And yes, she tries to eat the dog food...like I said, everything goes in the mouth! I just can't believe she is getting so big and will be walking soon!!!

Gotta love that smile! We are so blessed;)
