9 Months And Growing!

Everything continues to be on track as her nine month checkup confirmed that we have a healthy growing baby. She also has many new and improved skills. She is repeating syllables. Mostly she like the "ah" sound, but also fancies the "da" sound. I'm trying to get her to associate "da-da" with Sage, but I'm not sure it's working yet. Still, I am committed to using baby signs since Sophia understands these gestures—hopefully soon she will use the signs. She is crawling at a quick pace, as well as going from crawl to sit with ease. She has begun to pull herself up and will take a few wobbly steps with assistance. She can wave and clap her hands, but does these actions at her own accord. She has also been giving us a preview of toddler hood by throwing the occasional tantrum—she definitely knows what she wants and is persistent! Her bottom 2 incisors (teeth 7 & 8) are almost completely in. She continues to eat everything and anything and is and has been for over a month been eating "big people food."
