Lucy is 9 months old!!


Wow!! Where has the time gone? Lucy turned 9 months old last Wednesday. She has quit doing her "scoot" crawl and she is now officially crawling. And she is officially into EVERYTHING!! The only time I have to get anything done is while she is napping. If she is awake, I have to have all of my attention on her. Today she climbed the stairs all by herself (Richard was right behind her, just in case she fell). I guess it is time to get the gates out!!

We went to the doctor for her 9 month check-up and she is doing great. She weighed 18 pounds and 8 ounces. The doctor also suggested trying to switch off of the special formula Lucy is on right now and trying a regular milk based formula. We will probably try that next week. Hopefully her little tummy will adjust with no trouble.

Not only is Lucy crawling but she has also been cruising all over the house for the last month. Here recently she has started letting go of the table and walking to the sofa. Yesterday she took about 5-6 steps all by herself!! I feel like she is going to be walking within the next month--Cooper and Emily did not even start to crawl until they were 10 months old. Here are a couple of fun pictures:

Walking with Daddy


She likes to stop and rest while she is crawling


Lucy has not been wanting to eat much baby food. She had to get in the bath tub after this meal.


She has 3 teeth and is working on the 4th one. Her smile is so cute!


She is not happy in this picture but you can see her 3 cute teeth


Here is my mischievous girl cruising along the fireplace.....


headed for the brown decorative barrels that are a "no touch"....


this is one of her favorite things to do right now...


but seriously....who could be upset with this sweet face!!!


Happy 9 months Lucy!!!
