9 Months

I realize that every mother feels this, but as I get ready to post Lillian's 9 month update, I can't believe we are here ALREADY! Another stay-home-mom made a comment to me when Lillian was extremely young and now I am starting to completely get it... The days go by so slowly, but the time goes by too fast.
As far as Lillian's "stats" go, we still have a big girl! She weighs just over 21 pounds, which puts her in the 90th percentile and is 29 1/2 inches tall, which puts her off the chart. She still loves to eat, but we are in a transition period. She is weening herself from baby food (she doesn't like it anymore), but hasn't quite mastered "real food". Let's just say that meal time at the Carter house has become a bit challenging - Cheerios anyone? That's a balanced meal, right??? :)
She crawls everywhere now and pulls up on everything! Bath time has become interesting since Lillian is no longer content to sit and play with her toys. No, she wants to stand and hold onto the edge of the tub the whole time. She doesn't talk yet(with words), but is constantly making sounds! Brad says that's one thing she and I definitely have in common... and I'm certain that's a compliment to both of us! :)

Lillian in her lowered crib... HA! Working on a little Auburn cheer...
