Sara Gray is 9 months old!

Sara Gray turned NINE MONTHS OLD!!  I just can’t believe it.  She is soooo sweet and precious and really is the best baby in the world.  You can tell she is just happy with life!  We put her to bed every night with a bottle about 6:30pm and she doesn’t make a peep until 6:45am. She loves her bed and doesn’t mind having some quiet time to herself.

She is starting to play with her Big Sis and really enjoys going into Campbell’s room and playing with her mardi gras beads or her play food.  She laughs a lot at her sister and Campbell knows just what to do (running and falling down, silly faces, singing!)

She is crawls really well and is pulling up on the furniture.  She drools all the time so I feel like her first tooth is on its way!

She can wave and opens her mouth when you blow her kisses. She loves being outside, loves music and has a tendency to prefer her Daddy (it was her first word after bird!).  We’re still working on Mama.  She says “mamamamahhhh” when she is hurt or tired so I am taking that for now.

Today was her 9 month check-up and she got a great report:

height: 28” (50-75%)
weight: 20 lb (75%)
head: 44 cm (50%)

She can eat all kinds of foods now and start working on a cup.  The doctor says she is wonderful!!  We are so blessed!!
