9 Months of Mommyhood!

It gets more fun as each milestone and more of Little P's personality comes out! She is definitely a crowd pleaser! As we have been to more social events (can you believe that we can actual go out some?), we've noticed that she is a ham! She also is not a stranger to the camera, and is definitely a poser!
It seems like we've been saying that she'll be walking anytime soon. While the progress seems slow, there is definitely improvement as each day passes.
Her balance is getting better. She can get up from a sitting position. She likes to be standing almost at all times, unless she's eating or sleeping!
She's starting to babble more with sounds like "ba, ba, ba" and using her front teeth to produce sounds. She is associating sounds with words like the "ba, ba" is used when saying bye-bye to people. So, it's not the initial babble that's typical in child language acquisition--we've progressed to the next stage! P's appetite is very good. All the foods I've introduced thus far, she has taken a liking to. She's just a good eater.
Her legs still kick. When she's excited, happy, in a carrier, her legs are always a-going and people notice.
Anyhow, we're still working on the going to sleep without rocking and the nursing business at 2 am. Looking forward to Christmas and the upcoming months and milestones!

Feeding Frenzy

Seems like my posts have centered around P's feeding times. Could be because that's the only time we're together during the week these days. So, lately, she's been playing around when I feed her. She will bite the spoon and grab it. She is really strong! It's hard for me to get it out of her mouth or away from her tiny hand. She really gets my goose, but when she looks at me and gives me that toothy grin, I have to look away and laugh!
She is also blowing raspberries after I spoon in her food. That gets to be real messy. She's a girl who likes to eat, so she must not be too hungry these days. I'm guessing this is all pretty normal. Maybe I should wait to feed her a half hour later to see if that helps.
Oh, and speaking of O's--we bought some of those Happy Baby melt-in-your-mouth O's. They have been a lifesaver! We had been using these teething biscuits but I've been scared to death that she'd choke on them. (It does recommend on the box that it's for 8 months and older). So, when I discovered these O's, we tried it. She loves them, and it keeps her occupied for a lengthy time! RT and I have been able to sit down for a meal together, and I am able to make dinner by putting her in the high chair while she nibbles on her snacks!
