Kennedy is 9 months old!

Sweet Kennedy, you are 9 months (and 1 day) old! You are growing so quickly. I just want it to slow down and not go by so fast!

*You are 20lbs, 15 oz as of yesterday. We haven't done your 9 month check-up, but we did go to the doctor yesterday to check your ears. They were clear (except for a little fluid in one) for the first time since August.

*You are wearing 12-18 month clothes.

*You are still in size 3 diapers.

*You think it's great fun to pull up in your crib and throw out your paci's. It looks like a mine-field when we come in there to get you, since you sleep with as many as you can hoard.

*You are "crawling". You made up your own way to do it. I think your way is much harder, but it works and you're happy. I made a video of it yesterday. I will post it when your daddy helps me figure out how.

*You are feeding yourself finger foods now, too. You think the cheese puffs are fabulous.

*You are clapping now. It's precious.

*You are also saying "Mama". Don't worry, I know it doesn't necessarily mean me...yet...but I love hearing it.

(Woo Pigs, by the way! My girls are destined to be Razorback fans!)

*Your Meme is coming to see you tomorrow, and your Marme and Poppy are coming on Friday. They'll be so impressed with all of your new tricks!

(You thought playing in the grass was great fun...and you kept trying to sneak some into your mouth when I wasn't looking.)

*You love to climb on people. If someone lays down on the floor, they are fair game. You're pulling up and diving over them. We love it!

AND WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
