WOW! I can't believe that our little girl is 9 months old! I took her to her 9 month well baby check up today, she weighed in at a whopping 15 pounds 1 oz and is 26 1/2 inches long. That puts her below the 3rd percentile for her weight and in the 18th percentile for height. So to hopefully put some pounds on her we are to feed her things like french fries (as much has she wants), avocado mixed with sour cream (the 100% fat kind), bread slathered in butter (so she will eat it) and olive oil in her food. With the exception of the olive oil in food, wouldn't it be nice if we could eat like that? Her doctor actually isn't worried to much about her weight as much as her proportions, I guess her weight is not proportionate to her height, so her doctor is wanting to even that out a little.
It has been so much fun to see her grow up, and to watch the excitment in her eyes as she is learning new things, as you know she is crawling and getting into everything!, especially snoopies food and toys. She is pulling herself up, furniture cruising, walking when we hold her hands, and she actually took a couple steps backward today, (while I was holding her hands of course.) We are not expecting her to but we are thinking that she might be walking by Halloween. We are both excited and terrified at the same time that she might be walking soon.

WHOA look how big she is getting.
I have added you to my blog list. I am not good at keeping this up but I try to get pictures up every so often.
Yes, I would like the "eat as many french fries as you want" diet, I could definitely live with that. She s taking backward steps!? That's amazing! Thomas has taken a step forward once or twice but I think we're still a month or two from walking. He just loves to crawl too much.
