9 Months Old

Abigail is 9 months old today!

Wow . . . I can't believe that Abigail has lived outside of me as long as she lived inside me. My baby is 3 months away from her 1st Birthday! She has two bottom teeth and LOVES all finger foods. We have bypassed baby food and moved on. She has eaten peas, bananas, cheerios, carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans, and even chicken! She scoots around wherever she wants to go and Emily loves watching out for her. She weighs 17 and 1/2 pounds and is 27 inches long. She is a very busy and happy baby! She has cut down on her daytime naps for sure. She sleeps about 1 to 1.5 hours in the morning and about 45 minutes in the afternoon. At night she sleeps from 7 to about 6:15 or 6:30 so she appears to be our early riser since no one else in this house likes to be up that early : )

Here is our fun photo shoot this morning:
Last night when I picked the girls up we started singing "Patty cake" and Abigail started clapping her hands together. We were so excited that it registered with her what we were saying. So of course I got it on video : ) Enjoy. I personally think this is the sweetest video ever made:
