How is my little girl nine months old. These nine months have gone by a lot faster than the previous nine months. What a difference nine months makes. I can't believe she was in my belly nine months ago and now she's just this little smily person who eats everything off of the floor that she can possibly find. I left her in the kitchen the other day where she was crawling around playing while I went to the bathroom and in the two minutes I was gone, she got into Jackson's easel and had written on her face with one marker and had sucked on the other colring her tongue, teeth, and the whole inside of her mouth orange. And so it begins...
Annabelle passes the time these days by hunting for inappropriate things to put in her mouth and choke on. We discover about half of them pre-digestion and the other half 12-24 hours later. She literally does this all day long, more interested in the hunt than toys. I vaccum and sweep at least once a day but with a 3 year old she still succeeds. She has now learned to lock her teeth and bat our hands away. I introduced her to cheerios yesterday in the hope that if I gave her something appropriate to put in her mouth it would serve as a replacement behavior for the constant crumbs and carpet fibers that she lives for. She loved them and yelled any time her tray was empty even if she had a mouth full. She currently babbles mamama, and dadada and Jackson would tell you that she is saying all kinds of other things. Her current favorite "toys" are little noses saline spray, plain brown bottle nipples, a broken breastpump tubing, a little einsteins book, and an actual fisher price table top with the legs removed so she doesn't pull to stand on it and face plant forward, oh and any electrical cord. She is a good sleeper and generally all smiles, especially if mommy is around. She is crawling everywhere and starting to pull to stand. She is loads of fun and I can't believe how fast this is going!!! Nine months from now she will be this whole little person.
