9 months

Harper is 9 months old. Technically, she is 9 months and one week old. She is an absolute joy. We took her to the pediatrician where she measured in at 21 pounds 3 ounces and 29 3/4 inches long. OH MY! She is in the 98% for height and 90% for weight. Dr. Gaines asked us if she was crawling. She wasn't crawling on her knees -- she was pseudo crawling on her belly, but she was doing it like a pro. The very next day she started crawling on her knees. She is insanely fast and nothing is safe. For some reason, she is drawn to the fireplace and the stairs. WHY?!??! She is also pulling herself up to a standing position. This is crazy to see. She has cut two teeth (on the bottom.)

Since she moves SO well (and so darn fast!) she does not want to sit still. There is no cuddle time (except for the first few minutes after she wakes). It was hard to get pictures of her because she is fast. I know that she will be losing her lovely thighs soon. Very sad. 

lots of personality. lots. :)

her crib is now at the lowest setting possible...and this is how we find her when she wakes up from a nap.

catch me if you can!

2 baby teeth, coming right up!

I also have a couple of videos of Harper. Enjoy! (Feel free to turn the volume down...I wouldn't want to listen to me, either.)

Harper crawling
this is the first morning she started crawling. Time trials will be next. 

Harping pulling herself up
this is the first time we got it on video. She has perfected it now.

Harper and Jackson
Jackson is great with Harper. Molly....not so much. We always stay close and we watch Jackson closely. Basically, don't report us if you don't agree with this video.
