Sariah Summer- 9 Months

Sariah is now 9 months old.  She weighs 18 pounds, 6.4 ounces (37% for weight), her length is 28.25 inches long (69% for length), and 17.52 inches for her head circumference (62% for HC).  She has a  very sweet personality and we love her to death. She loves to play with toys, especially push things around, and loves to put everything in her mouth. She is starting to stand for a few seconds here and there without holding on to anything, but she’s totally mastered pulling herself to standing. 

We are, however, a little concerned about our sweet girl. She has not even attempted any type of babble whatsoever. The only thing she ever says is “Aaaaa” or “Oooo”.  On top of that, she may be having seizures when she hits her head. We’ve seen this happen seven times in the last few months. Anyway, we don’t want to jump to any conclusions yet. We are scheduled to see a pediatric neurologist next week. We are also scheduled to see an audiologist, but I really don’t think it’s her hearing. Just keep her in your prayers and pray that we would make the best decisions regarding her health.  We will love her the same no matter if it’s something minor or life changing.

Here are some pictures of her recently. 

Oh, and she loves to eat. She just eats what we're having for dinner now. No more baby food!

She loves to see all the sights and hear all the sounds outside. 

She thinks she's a big girl here. She is at the toddler play place in the mall. She was looking around at the other children. 

"This is the life, Mom."

"I'm so sleepy." 

That pool was fun and all, but there's nothing like sitting in Mommy's lap wrapped in a warm towel.

First time eating watermelon. She got really mad when we took it away. This was a couple of months ago when she just started eating table food.

She likes the front seat of the double stroller a lot better then the back seat.

Chillin' at the art table. She's always trying to eat the crayons and playdough. 

Messy baby!

She's mastered the pincher grasp. She picks everything off the floor like really tiny specs of stuff all the time.  They go straight to her mouth. I've pretty much given up at this point. It's constant. There's no telling what little specs she's eaten.

"Daddy is so cool!"
