9 months

Callie is now officially the only 9 month old at the gym who is still small enough to fit in the baby swings.  Most days when I go to pick her up she's just swinging away with the newborns, chewing on a toy.  It's pretty funny.  She's so little she looks like she should not be able to do the things she does.  Her doctor appointment was yesterday -

15 lb. 8 oz (12th percentile)
27.5 inches (47th percentile)

I don't remember her head circumference but is was up in the 50th percentile.  She's long and thin and like I said, she looks too little to be doing things like swinging at the park and standing up.  She is crawling like a champ.  She can also pull herself up and love to stand next to the ottoman and drum her hands on it.  She also thinks its really cool that she can stand up in her crib.  I have never seen a baby so happy to see you when you come to get them out of bed.  Her smile is so big it takes up the whole bottom half of her face and she is usually so excited she falls over backwards.

Callie loves to play with balls.  She will chase them around, batting them just out of reach for a very long time.  She loves big people food and whenever she sees you eating she will open her mouth and cry until you put something in her mouth.  She loves to swing and she thinks that the windup leading to the swing is fun.  You pull the swing up and she smiles and goes "ah ah."  She still loves Kenna and will always try to find her when she hears her.  Now that she can crawl she doesn't want to be left out.  If you set her down and walk away she will follow you.  She likes to watch people and if there is a lot going on she gives herself whiplash trying to keep up.  That usually means that if there are people over and she needs a bottle we have to take her into another room. 

Callie will now ride on Kenna's powerwheel.  At first she wasn't sure but now she likes it and if you put her hand on the button she can push it herself.  She loves the bathtub and is great at splashing.  She likes to crawl under the piano and feel the vibrations while you're playing it.  She knows that at night time before bed Nate and Kenna will play with her on our bed and last night she crawled in there by herself and yelled for us.  She's still working on some teeth which she will hopefully get soon because she is chewing on everything and drooling like a little puppy.  She's a happy, sweet baby and we'll keep her another nine months.
