Maggie- 9 months

Maggie is 9 months old!
(ok, let's be honest...she's closer to 10 months than 9 months but I'm doing my best, folks.  Between Maggie and Robbie, we had sickness in our house for most of the past month and are just now fully recovered...)

Weight:  20 lbs, 15 oz  75th %  (down from 21.5 lbs in the midst of her stomach bug)
Height: 27 inches  25th %
Head: 45 cm 75th %

At 9 months, Maggie continues to bring us laughter every day.  She has a great belly laugh that is so infectious.  She has gotten 2 more teeth and uses her 4 teeth to eat table food like a toddler.  She can roll over but we rarely see it...the little stinker.  She can push up to a sitting position from her belly and move backwards on her hands and knees but can't move forward.  She continues to be a people-baby and likes to have people around her at all times.  She loves her Mommy and Daddy and will cry to be held by the one not currently holding her (for example, if I go get her from her crib in the morning and come into the living room where Robbie is, she will scream and cry until he holds her).  Again...stinker. 

We did get an Early Intervention referral from our pediatrician because she still isn't babbling and she doesn't crawl or pull up.  We are so thankful to have had experience with this with Campbell so we know the process.  We are hopeful that if she does qualify for services, she will respond to therapy and catch up quickly.

We can't believe she will be 1 in less than 3 months...can someone please slow down the time for me? Thanks.
