Greta: 9 months

This little girl has grown up so much in the past few months. She has gone from barely sitting to pushing herself up to sitting from her belly. She was moving around through a system of rolling and launching herself forward, and now she is crawling for real.  The other day I walked in to get her up from her nap and she had pulled herself up in her crib, so I had to drop the mattress down.  She is babbling and making what we think are recognizable sounds.  Mitch is convinced that she is saying Dada, and I must admit, he might just be right, (darn, I was hoping I would get at least one of my kids!)

She remains the happiest, sweetest smily baby.  My Grandma Ruth put it best.  She said that Greta is exhausting, because she is constantly smiling at you, and so you have to smile back.   She just keeps smiling, so you just keep smiling, until you just can't keep it up.  Just, exhausting!  I have to say there are worse things.

Here are her 9 months stats:

Length: 29 inches (90%)

Weight: 17 lbs 13. oz (31%, by far our skinniest baby)

Head: 42.8 cm (17%)

I realize I just posted a lot of pictures from Greta's 9 month pictures, but it  is just too hard to cut it down, she is just so cute and photogenic!  Just one more.  I don't know why, but I love baby butt crack!
