Abby is 9 months old!

Plus 4 days!  I've been so behind on blogging.  I ordered a laptop and it hasn't arrived yet so I've resigned myself to using the desktop which is in another room which I can't get to whilst watching little Abby (hence the early morning post - she's asleep!).  Abby turned 9 months old this past Saturday and we had her 9 month well check this morning.  She's 20 lb 4 oz and 28.25" tall - both just above 75%.  This means that since her 8 month check-up, she has grown 1.75" and 1 lb 4 oz.  Our little girl is growing too fast for my liking!  Thankfully she's still cuddle sized - my favorite. 

It's so strange that she now spends half her time crawling and the other half vertical (with at least one hand leaning on something sturdy).  She tries standing on her own sometimes but it only lasts a few seconds.  She is still our happy, chubby baby.  The little drool monster still shows no signs of any teeth so we can still enjoy her gummy smile.  :D  Here area few pics from the past 2 weeks-ish.

Abby had avocados for the first time.  In case you can't tell, she didn't like it but ate it nonetheless.  That's our little piglet!

Here she is crawling around on the new carpet before we moved the furniture back in.

Can you say "crackberry?"

Don't worry, this is Bryce's old phone (aka Abby's new phone).

The Tickle Monster made another appearance!  :)

Some more failed attempts at pigtail pictures.  These pigtails are up high vs. down low like before.  My theory is that with 6 not-so-great pictures, you'll get the idea.

Abby going through Round 2 of her tongue-sticking-out phase.

She is currently in her sucking-upper-lip phase (hence "Got Prunes?").

I just love the innocence of this picture...
