Nine Months

February 9, 2014
Leila is already nine months old! She looks like such a big girl these days. And her weight is finally catching up to her height so she is looking chunkier!

Weight: 18lbs 11oz

Height: 27.5 inches

She is talking more and more everyday. This month Jeremy was pleased to finally hear her say his name: "Dada". She also introduced "baba" into her vocabulary. It is cool to hear her language develop as she starts using more and more sounds.

Leila's newest trick: waving. I'm such a sap but it seriously is the sweetest thing. She really has it down but will only wave to Daddy. So every morning when he leaves for school we wave goodbye to him. It's reserved just for him...for now. :)

Leila had her first snow day this month. She liked to watch the snow through the window but was more curious about it once we actually went outside. (Blog post to come :)

Leila is not as easy to take pictures of anymore. She has become a lot more active and won't sit still like she used. While she hasn't quite figured out crawling yet, she wiggles her body and can get around just fine.
(This photo shoot was technically a couple weeks late. I wish I would have done it early and maybe I would have had one more shoot with her being somewhat still. Instead the following was the majority of the pictures that I got. 

She pushes herself up into a plank or on all fours but just isn't sure where to go from there.

And so the chase beings. Love my little stinker!
