9 months old!

Livee is 9 months old! We took her to the doctor today for her checkup and she is 14 lbx, 13 oz. and almost 27 inches. I spoke with the doctor about her 6 month checkup and he said that her stats looked fine even then and that the nurse practitioner who freaked me out so bad is no longer working there.

Recently she has started fake laughing and fake crying, as well as throwing mini fits. I know, I know, she's too young. But she does throw fits, I swear. I will take away something that she doesn't need to play with and she lolls her head back and gives it all she's got. If her cry wasn't so pitiful and deafening, it would be funny. She even produces tears! What a little drama queen we have. It's the same thing if she falls. She cries for at least 3 minutes. I don't know how we're ever going to make it when she starts walking.

She can turn completely around sitting on her booty using her heels, and she lunges for everything. She kind of gets up on her knees now, but just flops to her belly and then starts crying again. She really wants to get moving, but just hasn't figured it out. Recently Dave started "walking" with her. She picks her feet up quite well and then that's all she wants to do all day. Wish we had a walker that she wasn't too short for. :)

She still only has a tiny bit of hair. I've had a bow in it a couple of times, but that's it. I don't care for those headbands with the obnoxiously large bow on them that ends up being the same size as the baby's head. I would just rather have a bald baby.

Dave loves this outfit. It is pretty cute! And here's one of her hairbows.

She finally cut a tooth on the bottom last week! It was about 5 days of agony and she's still fussy, so maybe the other one is coming in now. With Hayden, we didn't even know anything was wrong. He just woke up one morning and had two teeth on the bottom. Of course we are making up for that now, so all's fair.

She has started babbling a lot now too. She says ma-ma when she's upset, ba-ba-ba when she's talking, and squeals when something's funny. She still plays bashful with people, too. She'll smile and then hide her face. She's a content and sweet little baby who loves her big brother more than anybody! He can make her laugh when no one else can.
