9 Months Old

Can you believe it...Camilla is 9 months old!!! The weeks and months are flying by and our little girl is growing right before our eyes. This past Friday, she had her 9 month checkup and she is right on track. She weighs 20 lbs. 12oz. (90th percentile) and is 28 3/4 inches long (75th percentile). She is saying dada to just about everything including Marty. She loves to point her finger at what she wants and jabber on about who knows what. We are actually trying to start teaching her some basic sign language so she can communicate things like eat, more, drink and thank you. She seems to get frustrated when we don't understand what she is trying to tell us so maybe this will help. She is, of course, walking along everything and with her toys but is still not letting go. She still only has the two bottom teeth and is unfortunately starting to BITE! She is very daring and gets in to all types of things she shouldn't. At the moment, we are having trouble with her climbing on the bottom part of the coffee table to get through to the other side. We tell her no and she just smiles and keeps doing it. The pediatrician suggested 1 min. timeouts so we are trying that and we seem to be making some progress. She is otherwise a very happy, playful, loving little girl. We are enjoying every second. She is such a blessing!
