Ashlyn is now 9 months old! 

Height, Weight, and Head Size- She had her 9 month check-up a few days after she turned 9 months. She is in the 63% for height (28 inches), the 48% for weight (18lbs 6 oz--she actually lost a pound in the last month), and is in the 27% for head size.

Eating and Teeth- She eats pretty much the same amount as she did a month ago but eats a lot more table food and can feed herself finger foods. A few new things that she's tried in the last month are white turkey meat hot dogs and tacos (ground beef with soft flour tortilla).  There hasn't really been anything that she doesn't like except yogurt. Just in the last week, she's been cutting her first tooth on the bottom middle. It's barely poking through now!

Talking and Mobility- She is "talking" a lot more now. She will sometimes repeat what you say, like "dog" or "cat", but mostly she just talks in her own language. The day after she turned 9 months she took 3 steps by herself. She's trying to walk and will take a step here and there on her own.

Here's a few updated pictures of Ashlyn:

 Feeding herself turkey dogs. She loved them!

 She absolutely LOVES the piano! When she's at her Grandma's house she will crawl into the other room to the piano. She will sit there and listen or play for 30 minutes or more most of the time.

 She also loves playing in water. She has a blast in the bath splashing and playing with her toys. These pictures are her playing with my friend Ivy's kids.
