9 months!

Our sweet Lucy is 9 months!  The months are clicking by too quickly!  Here's what she's up to these days -

- Not crawling!  She's still very content to sit.  She can roll to get around a little bit (especially in her bed), but for the most part, she likes to be held or be sitting!
- Gummy and toothless
- Clapping!  We are trying to determine which words she recognizes.  "Clap, clap, clap!" is definitely one of them.
- So smiley and cheerful
- Getting a little more shy and attached to me.  When I'm holding her and we're around other people, she will smile, wait for a response, and then nuzzle into me as if to say "I'm friendly, but I want to stay right here, thank you."
- She's also been a little more fussy when she's at home and wants me to hold her.  It isn't crying as much as extended grunting.
- self feeding little puffs, crackers, banana pieces
- loving yogurt
- napping 2-3 times/day, though she's not quite as good at napping away from her bed now
- goes to bed at 6:30-7:30 and is up 2-3 times/night
- dances whenever she hears music.  She's pretty serious about it - bobbing and rocking to the sound with a very straight face.  Very cute.
- She loves being w/ Isaiah and Noelle so much.  The other day, all 3 of them were in Noelle's bed with a blanket hanging down from Isaiah's bed.  They were in a little tent, playing.  She was very content to be in there with them for at least 20 minutes.
- Her little fuzzy head is filling in with more hair.  Still pretty dark and very soft.
- She's become very interested in animals and babies.  She laughs and squeals whenever she sees an animal, and she was more than delighted to meet her baby cousin Elliot!
- She continues to be so good-natured, happy, smiley, soft, and sweet!!!
