9 months

Now that I'm 9 months old (ok, it's more like 9 1/2, mom is just behind), here's what I've been up to:

-Crawling like a crazy woman! I am getting very fast.
-Standing up on anything and everything. Sometimes I try to stand by myself...not usually very successful.
-I love watching kids (especially older kids) play. I had fun in Utah playing with my cousins Sophia & Jazmin. Hopefully next time, Jazmin will like me more!
-Dogs are fun. Especially little dogs that bark a lot. I like to laugh at them!
-Pulling books off the book shelf. Not just my books, but Mom's and Dad's too.
-I love to eat. I'm not a big fan of the boring baby food, I'd much rather feed myself. My favorites are black beans, bananas, avocados, and whatever it is that you're eating, I want some.
-Sometimes I'll wave at you if I'm feeling it. If not, I'll just look at you like you're crazy.
-Learning how to dance. Give me something with a beat and I'll move (a little)!
-Exploring the outdoors. I love to try to eat sticks, leaves, and dirt. I also try to crawl after birds if I see them.
-Finding cords (computer, vacuum, cell phone chargers, blow dryers) is a hobby of mine.
-I can say "uh oh," "dada," and "mama." I think I kind of understand what "uh oh" means. I say it when I throw things on the floor.
-Had my first fever. I was hot and my temperature was 103. Thankfully that was my only symptom and it only lasted about 2 days. I was still happy, it just slowed me down a little. I actually cuddled with Mom and Dad.
