9 months old!

(first off, i stole this idea from karlynn, it was so cute! can't take credit)

i am 9 months old! i am usually a pretty good little girl for my mommy. i sleep well at night, from about 6:30/7pm straight through until about 6:30am. my mommy leaves me in my crib, which is in her room, when i wake up and i just play in there and talk to myself until everyone else wakes up. i'm so easy going, i don't mind one bit.

i still get all of my formula through my gastrostomy tube in my stomach. i will start trying to drink on my own, thickened formula, soon. so far, i don't like it so my mom isn't too sure what to do about that. i am eating lots of other foods... my favorites are: any fruits, my oatmeal cereal, and cheerios. i will also eat yogurt, grated cheese, grated apple, mashed pears, toast, rice cakes, goldfish crackers, most veggies... i don't really like meat yet, and some veggies are pretty gross too. i still choke a bit on things but the doctors said it's not a concern.
i have 2 teeth on the bottom, and no more yet although i have been drooling like KRAZY for a couple of months now, and my mommy is wondering where the rest of the teeth are!?!

i can sit up very well on my own, but i don't crawl yet. i am sort of starting to attempt to move out of the sitting position, but my leg gets stuck under me and sometimes i can get from sitting to being on my tummy, and i just learned how to roll from my tummy to my back. other than that, my mom thinks it's a pretty good thing that i don't really move yet i am happy to sit and play!

my mommy is always telling me how good i am. she says i'm so happy and easy and she really really loves me. my big sister also tells me that she loves me, and that i'm cute. sometimes she bugs me though when she sits behind me and hugs me too tight. my brother likes to try to make me smile, but sometimes he does weird things, like try to clip things onto my shirts, or feed me things i shouldn't have, or knock me over.... i cry so that mom knows what's going on. my daddy, well he can always make me smile! he 's a pretty funny guy!

i've started to "make strange" with people. if you're not in my immediate family, watch out because when you talk to me, i might give you "the look" and then start screaming. i really just prefer to be held by mom right now, and i'm a bit hesitant with anyone else. i'm sure i'll "get over it", as mom says.

oh! my mom finally did something with my insane hair today! she bought a baby clip at cinnamon baby and it's very stylin'! (see the pics of beautiful lil me on this post!) aren't i CUTE?!!

ok, i have to run. my mom needs her computer back and i really should be in bed already ;)

night night!

love miss. emmy!
