9 Months Old

Our 9 month photo shoot didn't go so well.  I can't get her to sit still long enough to click the shutter!  Here are a few until we get a chance to take some more.

- Presley has started standing independently for short periods of time.  She can also push her walker like a champ!  She gets this big smile on her face when she is pushing that thing around.  I'm pretty sure she is thinking "Look at me.  I'm hot bananas!"

- It has become impossible to change Presley's diaper or clothing.  She is constantly rolling, sitting, or trying to stand on her changing table. 

- She is starting to make the transition from baby food to table foods.  She is great at feeding herself and some of her faces have been priceless!  So far she likes Cheerios, puffs,  Baby Mum Mums, bananas, and string cheese.

- Right now Presley's favorite toys are: a spatuala, a broken TV remote, and a coaster.  Why do we even bother buying toys?  (She always likes Ham & Eggs.  They are the pig and rooster toys that hang from her carseat.)

- Her newest tricks are clicking her tongue, climbing the stairs, and throwing socks and pacifiers out of the crib.

- She loves to squeal and have you squeal right back at her.  It makes her laugh every time.

- Presley loves to read books... well, actually, she just likes to turn the page and she normally doesn't wait around for you to finish reading.  She just wants to turn the page... over and over...

Even though we have encountered some health issues that have made things a little more difficult lately, we are having so much fun with Presley these days.  I'm excited about what comes next as she is growing and learning more!
