So much has happened since the last post (which shouldn’t really surprise anyone seeing that I haven’t blogged in almost a month)! Allie is now 9 months old and is a professional crawler, climber, and cruiser. She loves to be up on her feet and after a few clumsy face-plants, she has discovered the art of sitting from standing. She even got her first pair of real shoes last Tuesday. Her receptive language skills are improving every day. When asked, “how big is Allison?” she’ll put her arms above her head. When asked, “Can I have an awwww?” she’ll lay her head on your shoulder. When you sing, “row, row, row your boat gently down the stream, and if you see a crocodile, don’t forget to scream” she’ll let out a scream. She waves bye, bye and I’m 90% convinced she knows the sign for drink (it’s actually the sign for milk, but I use it for drink). She plays peek-a-boo and loves to get attention! She’ll clear her throat or do a little chuckle until you look at her and then she’ll give you a big smile. She weighs 24 pounds 10 ounces (99th percentile) and is 30 and 3/4 inches long (100th percentile). She eats many more foods, like cheese and bread, and loves cheerios!
Now I’ve just got to get the house techie to post some videos and photos! Including photos from our recent vacation to Cape Cod. Check back soon!
