Mischevious Baby
Well she is officially pulling herself up to stand and getting into things... like books that are sitting on the nightstand near her crib (or the iPod I use for white noise), door-stop knobs that come off easily and into her mouth, and everything that can be easily torn apart in the kitchen. This little girlie will break for the bathroom when she realizes it was accidentally left open. If she sees any type of cord plugged into an outlet where she can reach, you can bet your bottom she will crawl her little fanny over there (not before making sure mommy can't see her... yes, she checks) and get those cords! Here is the face I have to deal with every time she is being a little goober:

9 Month Check Up!
9 months and very mobile! I leave the room and when I come back, I have to go looking for this little peanut. Child proofing is done (I think) and I feel confident that we've covered all the potentially disastrous places in the apartment. God forbid anything happen now.
Because of my low milk supply, we switched to formula. I'm not complaining; some mothers aren't able to exclusively breastfeed for 6 months so even though I feel sad about not being able to BF anymore, at least she is getting the nutrients she needs... and at least I still get the snuggles I need, too :)
It was a good 9 month check up. Agnes' weight is almost the same at it was 3 months ago which makes me think that I had been drying up for a while and hadn't noticed she wasn't getting as much breast milk as I thought... sooooo we are going to give her 35oz of formula a day to see if she can get that weight up. Crawling can also be helping with the lack of weight gain, but I'm hoping in the next month or so we see an increase.
Hear are some of the things she is doing now:
She crawls like a champ. And what a mischievous little champ she is! We have most of the apartment open for her to explore except the bathrooms. She will follow me into the kitchen a lot of the time and climb up my leg so that she stands with me while I make dinner or do dishes. She is still very anxious when I leave a room so she is never far away from her mama. She always makes sure that I am within crawling distance.
Like I said before, she can pull herself up to a kneeling and standing position... soooo it's time to adjust the crib!
She says "Mama" when she's sad or fussy... maybe she knows what she's saying (or maybe it's the fact that I come running when she does it)?? She also learned a new consonant, "D," so hopefully "Dada" comes soon! That would be cool!
She claps. Every time she is happy or sees something she likes, she claps. After night prayers, she claps; when she finishes her dinner, she claps; when daddy comes home from work and she peeks her head around the corner to see him and he gives her a big hello, she claps. She cannot get enough of life.
Agnes now has two bottom teeth and two top teeth! It was a real challenge for a minute there with all of her teething and crying, but she got through it. We know those teeth are there because now she grinds them, sending daddy a tingle in his spine (Paul always cringes when he hears her mouth grinding away).
She can feed herself finger foods (cheerios, fruit, little teething snacks, green beans, etc.).
Bath time is her favorite, I think. Whenever I am drawing a bath for her, all I have to do is call her name and she will come crawling into the bathroom within seconds. Recently I bought the Aveeno baby wash and lotion and it is doing wonders for her dry skin. I was using coconut oil for moisture before but this stuff is way better, who would've thought! She also loves her duckies :)
