Danielle at 9 months

Danielle turned 9 months on Thanksgiving. Here is some info about her lately:

• She is crawling and is constantly on the move. It is truly exhausting.
• She pulls up on everything, this includes brother, sister, parents, etc.
• She also falls over a lot and always has at least one bruise on her face.
• She is learning to fall more gracefully though and lands on her bum most of the time now.
• She loves to play with whatever she isn't supposed to have. She has a built in radar to find things she isn't supposed to have.
• Everything goes in her mouth.
• She has three teeth now: one on bottom and two on top. Teething sucks.
• The last week or so she has decided she will not go down for the night before 10. Many days it has been closer to midnight. Not sure what that is about.
• She naps much better now than she used to, but is still very inconsistent. Some days, she snoozes in the car and that is it. Other days she naps for 2+ hours in her crib.
• Her crib is still in our room. I am way too lazy to go up and down the stairs that many times.
• She is definitely our daughter: she loves to sleep in. While the big kids were off of school last week, she slept until 9 or later half the time. Come to think of it, maybe that is part of why she was up so late last week?
• Danielle has tried many foods, both baby food and table food. She loves cheerios and the little puffs for babies and that is it. She had been eating some spoon food (mostly fruits) but has rejected them too over the last several weeks. I'm trying to give her banana and other soft foods now, since she doesn't like anything off a spoon.
• She got to try ice cream for the first time and loved it. She couldn't get it enough. She kept pulling my hand to her mouth so she could get more. She has only had it that one time though.
• That will have to be it for now as she just woke up from her (very short) nap.
