Emily recently turned 9 month old and it is hard to believe how much she has grown.
Milestones
- Master crawler. Emily has been moving around since she was 7 months in the cutest army crawl. Still to this day she does not lift her belly to move but she moves really fast.
- Pulls herself up. She can now pull herself up all by herself and enjoys walking by holding our hands.
- Teeth. Emily finally got her bottom two teeth just before turning 9 months. She bites pretty hard too.
- Sitting up. Emily can sit up by herself from any position. One day she just woke up and did it, pretty amazing.
- Clapping. At school Emily learned to clap at the sound of "If you're happy" song. As soon as she hears the beat she smiles and starts clapping
- My favorite, her tongue! Emily found her tongue today and it is the cutest thing ever. When I ask her where her tongue is she sticks her tongue out.
Her favorite things
- Water. She loves bath time since she was born and has now found a passion for the water park next to our house and the pool
- Stairs. She loves going up the stairs and whenever we're not watching she takes off and starts the first one but looks back to see if we're not going to stop her. When we come after her she giggles. Super cute.
- Daddy. She is still a daddy's girl and although she picks me sometime she is crazy for her dad and so is he for her. Arves would bring her to bed with us every day if I let him.
- Electric plugs. Since we go after her whenever she tries to play with the plugs this is now one of her favorite things to play with. She knows she gets a reaction from us and she loves it.
- Pinching. This favorite hurts. Whenever Emily is tired or we're putting her to bed she pinches the back of our arms or our necks super hard. As soon as she got the two finger grasp she has not stopped practicing on us!!
I can't say this enough, we are the luckiest ones to have such a wonderful little girl. We love her!
