Nine Months Old

Evie turned nine months old Sunday!  She started crawling Saturday, and she's beginning to get the hang of it.  She's still pretty slow, thank goodness, since we're trying to figure out how to child-proof everything!!  She talks a lot, and she says both "mama" and "dada" (good girl!).  She only says "mama" when she's upset about something, and she says "dada" (sometimes "daddy") in this sweet little sing-song voice when Gavin is around.  Pretty adorable, I have to admit.  :)

She had her nine month check-up yesterday and got a great report.  She weighs 23 pounds 5 ounces, is 30 inches long and her head circumference is 18.25 inches.  She is at the top of the growth charts on all her stats, and Dr. Stone said she is perfectly healthy and proportional.  She had to get two shots, which she didn't like, but she recovered very quickly.  She actually got the most upset at the very beginning when she had to get weighed and measured!  Go figure. 

I know I say it every time, but she really does bring so much joy to our lives.  I can't imagine what we ever did without her.  :)
