9 MONTHS!!!

I'm still in shock that our little peanut is already 9 months old! She's growing so dang fast, but she's such a blast to be around. She thinks she's just the funniest thing ever! She's such a happy baby now (when she's not sick :)) She'll just start laughing at who knows what and then give a few claps, so stinkin cute! She had her doctor's appointment last week. She's doing great except that her weight has dropped because she's been sick for basically the last month (dang RSV), but she should gain it back quickly once she starts eating her usual amount again. Her exact measurements are: head 17 3/4 inch (80%), height is 28 inches (60%) and her weight is down to 17 pounds 14.5 ounces (35%). As far as fun things she's doing, where to begin... she's still walking along everything and she's standing fora few seconds now on her own and getting more stable as the days go by:) She's flinging a ball pretty good when she plays toss with nick. It's funny, the other day we noticed that she's mostly using her left hand to throw and feed herself, so I guess we'll just have to see what happens there:) She's very ticklish, mainly on her sides and the base of her neck. And if you get her when she's in the right mood she'll let out a pretty good belly laugh:) Nick can get her laughing so hard. So fun to watch! She loves Oli! Yesterday she was crawling towards him and lowered her head and just rammed him. it was pretty entertaining. She'll also stand against the couch and grab ahold of one end of his toy. He'll be on the couch and grab ahold of the other end and they'll just tug and tug. I've tried multiple times to get a picture or video but by the time I get the camera, they're done:( She's pushing her walker across the room, but again by the time i get the camera she's either ran into something or passes something and becomes distracted Below is an attempt to get the walker recorded but I'll keep trying though. She FINALLY had a tooth come in a few weeks ago and a second is on it's way, so you can believe that she'll try and eat anything she can (of coarse except her baby food) Her favorite thing is popcorn no doubt (Fisher genes shining through once again:) I can't get her pieces fast enough. It takes Nick and I to inspect to be able to keep up with her. We line them up along the edge of the couch and she'll stand there just grabbing one after another. She shovels them in so quickly and you better believe that the few that miss her mouth, Oli is right there at her feet to pick them up. She's clapping at just about everything she does, especially the things she knows she shouldn't get into. She was doing something she shouldn't the other day and Nick told her 'no' and she turned around and started clapping and smiling at him. She's such a stinker sometimes but we love her so so much and are so greatful she's a part of our lives!!

Nick was able to catch a combo of clapping and flinging the ball
