Nine months old (+ 1 day since I'm late posting!)

Abby turned nine months old yesterday!  (I no longer refer to them as birthdays, since Ryan gets all excited about birthday cake!).  Abby is doing great!  She has four teeth now, she got her top two right about Christmas.  She is still our wonderful sleeper - 12 hours at night and usually two or three more hours during the day.  Her eating is slowly progressing.  We've still got a long way to go, but we're focusing and working really hard on it.  In fact this morning she ate a couple of bites of pancake and bananas from my breakfast.  She still uses her fingers to push them all in of course and it's quite a mess!  I'll spare you the details, but she's also taking a bottle now three times a day, we've had a sudden weaning experience :(  But we made it nine months, so I feel good about that.  She loves her bottles and I actually think she drinks more, so that's also good.  She is a crazily fast crawler and is super curious.  She gets into way more stuff than Ryan ever did, so this should be interesting!  I've finally started putting up some of the breakables on my kitchen bookshelf since I just can't get her to leave them alone (Ryan never touched them). 

Ryan is a great big brother.  It was a wee bit rough when she first started crawling and getting into his toys.  But I guess he's realized that she's pretty fun to have around and to play with.  I also think it helped that Abby got a bunch of new toys for Christmas - now they can play with her toys, versus Ryan thinking they were all his (which in a way they were, he knew all the baby toys used to be his).  He loves to crawl along with her and bring her all sorts of toys and update me on where she is & what she's doing.  He also enjoys holding her and wanted to be in all her nine month pictures with her. 

I love my babies!
 



Happy Nine Month Birthday Abby!  (I can still type birthday since Ryan can't read yet! - actually he does recognize his name and Abby's name)

Being a silly camera hog! But Mommy will never say no to taking pictures :)
