9 months already???


Is it possible that Mailee is now 9 months old?? Where has the time gone? Today we had her check up and although she is growing, she is still a little peanut.
She is now 15 lbs 13 oz (8th %) and 26 1/2 inches long (15%). Doc says she is healthy as can be though and was quite surprised at her balance and strength.
Mailee has been standing up all on her own (not pulling) for over a month now. She has even taken a couple of steps unassisted, but I wouldn't call it "walking". We are chasing her everywhere these days though and know it is only a matter of time before she will be running! She has fun making all sorts of sounds (some are hard to take b/c they are so high pitched), clapping, pointing, and eating (oh boy does she love her food - kinda like mommy :) We are continuing to introduce solids one by one and she still likes EVERYTHING (tofu, yogurt, avocado, etc. etc.) Good thing she is getting more teeth b/c she is going to need them for all the food she intakes. One of her top teeth started breaking through when she was 8 1/2 months old. I look forward to seeing her smile with her pearly whites all in one day.

Dear Sweet Mailee,

You are our beautiful "petite fille". Your Mom and Dad had done a terrific job in taking great care of you. Grandpa thinks that you are beautiful too, even though you look a lot like your Dad.

It is very good that you like all types of food.... Your Mom did not eat tofu until the last few years, so that proves that she now realizes that by introducing you to healthy food will help you grow stronger and become a better eater.

I look forward to cook some yummy VN food for you to taste.

Love,
Grandma R
