Lily Update (Ch-Ch-Changes)

It has been a week of big changes! Last Friday, Lily turned 9 months old. Since then, another tooth has poked through (she now has her two front teeth), she started saying “babababa,” she began pulling herself up on things (like the bottom step- time to get baby gates!), and she STARTED CRAWLING!!! Okay, so she’s technically been crawling for awhile now (I read that anything with forward motion is considered crawling) but two days ago she started doing the classic hands-and-knees crawl. It was such a neat experience watching her figure it out! Oh, and on a more minor note, she finally took a liking to avocado. It’s a great food for babies because it’s got so many nutrients, so I’m excited about that!

She also visited the doctor yesterday for her 9-month checkup. They admitted her last height measure was probably wrong (babies are squirmy), as she’s only in the 70% for height now at 28-inches. (She’ll still be tall, just not Amazonian-woman-WNBA-player tall). She now weighs 19.5 lbs, around the 70% as well. I can’t believe how fast she’s growing up!
