I'm 9 months old!

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to meeeee-eeeeee, happy birthday to me!  I can't believe how fast time has flown by.  I'm already 9 months old and before you know it, I will be packing my bags for college.

To celebrate, we started with our monthly picture:

Afterwards, we went to the pediatrician for my checkup.  I'm up to 17 lbs, 6 oz.  I'm now 27 inches long and am growing great.  My weight is tracking well with the 25% folks.  What can I say - I'm petite!

As for what I'm doing these days, I'm rolling all over the place and trying to figure out how to crawl.  It's so frustrating.  That toy is RIGHT in front of me, but when I get my leg up under me, I end up going backwards.  Ugh!  I'm sure I will be crawling soon.  I think I hear Mommy in the other room sounding totally stressed out.  I think she likes it that she can keep up with me for the moment.  In other news, I finally took my first sip out of a sippy cup.  That was soooo hard.  Mommy tried for a few months, but I just couldn't figure it out.  In fact, I made Mommy suck on that thing herself and then she realized why I wasn't getting any liquid out.  Mommy is so empathetic now.  As for eating, I'm eating meats, lots of vegatables, and yogurt.  I'm still holding out on dairy and cheese, but I like our menu.  The only thing I really can't stand are avocados.  Green beans are pretty gross, too.  Mommy keeps putting some cheerios on my plate, and I assume she does this for me to have more toys to play with.  Why else would she do that?  Occasionally she hands me one to eat, but then I just get back to playing with them and knocking them over the edge.

Daddy has been lots of fun to play with as well.  He doesn't talk in very long sentences, though.  He says "block" or "ball" or "ring", but I think he needs to work on putting together whole sentences.  Daddy is funny.

Here are some more pictures of me from my birthday:
