9 Months Old

McKinley is 9 months old now and I just can’t believe it. We took her in to the doctor for her appointment and they did all of the usual measurements. She weighs just over 19 pounds (75%) and she’s 29 inches tall (96%), she’s getting so big.

Here are a few of her favorite things and things she’s really enjoying right now:
Yelling in the kitchen – She has discovered that when she’s in there and she yells her voice seems even louder and she loves it.
Eating cheese – Her favorite is Tillamook medium cheese with Mozerella String Cheese a close second.
Pretending she doesn’t hear us – We will say her name and she won’t look at us, but she immediately gets this huge smile on her face and looks away. She does give in after we say it a few times, looks at us and sometimes giggles about it.
LOVES going to bed – We’re going to enjoy this while we can. When she gets tired and I pick her up and we start up the stairs, she smiles, talks and kicks her legs like crazy. Then when we get into her room and put her in the bed, she usually smiles up at me, kicks her legs again, rolls to her side, sticks her thumb in her mouth (it’s funny, she only does that when she’s going to bed) and goes to sleep.
