Paige is still growing like a weed. We have her 9 month well baby check up next week at which time we will find out her current weight and height, so we will just have to wait until then to see how much she has grown. She is becoming a very strong willed little character. Still a very happy soul who loves her music. She has herself into a pretty good routine now and lets us know when she needs her nap if we have missed it. She is also making it clear these days that she would prefer to be in the carrier on my back rather than her stroller – only catch if we are in a store she likes to grab things off of the rack and tuck them into the carrier so I have to be ever watchful.
Favourite things to do:
Singing songs, bouncing to the beat and using her shaker or sticks at music
Swimming
Bath Time
Going for Hikes
Playing outside
Being able to go naked with the hot weather
Stories
Skyping with family
Snuggles
Chatting up a storm
Talking to her toys
Grocery Shopping
Milestones:
Sitting up on her own from lying down
Pulling herself up
Can stand on her own
Able to choose outfits and food from limited selection
Greater understanding of what is being said to her
Able to follow very basic instructions (ie: please sit on your bum)
Sharing things
Pointing to something
Favourite Foods:
Frozen wild blueberries
Oatcakes
Plain Greek Yogurt
Apricots
Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese
Cheerios
Blackberries
Frozen Peas
Avocado
Will still try anything put in front of her and will try it various times throughout the meal even if she didn’t like it the first try.

I think these posts are such a good idea. I wish I had a blog when my boys were born to write these things down like this. 🙂 What an adorable picture! 🙂

What a great picture! You must frame it! Describing her at 9 months reminds me of my guys at that age – already daredevils! Coming from vb – nice to meet you! I'm off to check out your renovation posts – as we are in the middle of our own too.

She is just adorable! Love that picture. And yes, I agree with Sarah above. Such a great way to store memories. I do have baby books for each of the older two…but our Ava gets both. 😉

What a doll! I, too, wish I had a better record of my girls' babyhood. 🙂

So fun! You will want to remember these milestones later.
