9 Months

Abigail is 9 months old! It's crazy how much she developed this summer... she is an absolute joy and I just want to "freeze" her at this age for awhile!

9 Fun Facts about Abigail at 9 months:

1. She is a proficient crawler! (even climbed up the stairs at her grandparents' house last weekend)

2. She pulls herself up to stand on everything and has stood for a few seconds without holding on

3. She gave up the pacifier

4. Still no teeth, but she's loving finger foods (and not so much the purees)

5. She's an early bird... up consistently between 5:30 and 6:15. (How did 2 night owls get an early bird baby???? We were hoping she'd get the Hart gift of sleep!) Also,she still wakes up once in the middle of the night, sometimes more :( , but takes 2 solid 1-2 hr naps during the day.

6. Her favorite toy is undoubtedly my hair brush... not quite sure why!

7. She claps her hands, waves, and gives high-fives... much to the delight of friends, family, and strangers in the grocery store alike :)

8. She has a new interest in animals and is fascinated by her grandparents' dogs and cats. (She's taken to crawling after them around the house)

9. She is spirited, determined, and active, but smiley and full of joy... We often hear "What a happy baby!" She brings her parents immense joy every day!
