Hannah Stats: 9 Months

• You like to follow me around everywhere and "help" me with chores by unfolding laundry, dumping out the toys I just put away or chasing the vacuum.  You also like to make lots of messes.
• You learned to wave, but you wave backwards to yourself.
• You love babies and other kids.  Kate, Emma, Tanner, and Nora are your best buds.
• You've gotten so much better at eating solids but you have some conditions:  1) You won't eat anything from a jar. 2) You won't eat anything with a spoon. 3) You have the right to refuse solid food at anytime. 
• Your favorite foods are puffs, cucumbers, and pears.
• You are such a good-natured baby.  When we come in to get you in the morning, you crawl around your crib as fast as you can because you're so excited to see us.
• You like to practice walking.  You walk all around our apartment by holding onto the furniture or by pushing the scooter around.

• You have started standing up all on your own without holding onto anything.  You do it for five or ten seconds before you get nervous and sit down.
• You learned to climb the stairs at Aunt Heidi's house trying to keep up with your cousins Kate and Emma.   You got halfway up on your very first try.
• You've always been such a friendly baby, but recently you've started getting a little nervous around strangers.  You also get jealous when I hold other babies.
• You still don't have any teeth yet.  I don't really mind this since you're still nursing and I'm sure their in there somewhere.
• Whenever we go for a walk or go shopping, you put your feet up on your stroller.  You're just chillin'.

• You are 28.25 inches tall (70%) and weigh 16.78 pounds (14%).
• You don't like grass.  When you're sitting on the ground, you lift your legs off of the grass so they won't touch it.
• You get more fun every day!  We love you Hannah Jane!
