8-9 Months- Full speed ahead

Photobucket
Well, I neglected to post her 8 month post in time so I decided to combine her 8 and 9 month post.
Malaika…. Is the craziest, cutest, most inspiring, loving, AMAZING, curious, most beautiful thing I have ever been involved with!

She is growing by the day and keeping me plenty busy with her new budding curiosity. I guess I will try to list the MANY things she is doing.

*Definitely crawling all over the place. She is crawling like a pro now from room to room getting into anything and everything she can. We are trying to teach her the word “No” but I am not having much luck yet. So until that day we say no and then move her on the opposite side of the room. But I think she can find mischief wherever we put her.

* She can pull herself up to a standing position. Aunt Susanna got her a toy that she can stand up on and push buttons to play music. She loves to stand up and walk around the outside of it. She can walk from one end of the couch to another. She has not been brave enough to walk on her own but if I am holding her and let go she can stand on her own.

* She is eating all kinds of food. I think her favorite is Chicken. She likes to eat chunks of chicken and croutons from our salad. We have been surprised by how much she can chew with only two chompers.

* She can get out of her vibrating bouncer… I used to put her in it while I took a shower so she could play and not be to far away… The other day I heard a “THUD!” and then there she was right in front of the shower door trying to get in. LOL I don’t know how she didn’t hurt herself.

* She is enjoying swimming in our new pool. I think she is going to be a water baby.

*I think she has her upper teeth coming in but we can’t see them yet.

* When she see’s other kids she growls at them

* She still LOVES Dora the explorer. Our friends Lori and her daughter Hailey gave us a Dora the Explorer Playhouse with a bunch of dolls and Malaika loves them! I think I have the theme song down pat now!

* She is very curious and loves to get into drawers and the fridge. She likes to take toys out of her basket and then put them back.
Photobucket
* She likes to smell the flowers with my mom. Their daily routine is to go outside and water and smell the flowers. It is pretty cute.

* When I did a home measurement of her the other day she was 21 lbs and 28 inches long. She is wearing size 4 diapers and 12 -18 month clothes
* I cut her hair and evened it out because it was driving me insane! I think it looks a little better now but it is a little short.

I really cannot think of anymore at the moment. She is getting prettier and prettier everyday! I am so thankful for this blessing! I can’t believe it has almost been a year!

Happy be-lated birthday! Wow I am really late one that one!
She is so cute! She is doing all the same things that Greg is doing. I think he is working on his top two teeth two, but he hasn't cut them yet. I am hoping soon though. Isn't cute the routines our kids have with their grandparents. Greg has tons with my mom and my dad after living here for two months. It is cute to watch.
I love all the pictures that you post of her. I especially like the ones in her swimsuit..it is so cute!
Love you guys!
