9 months

i still can't believe how quickly time has gone by. ainsley is 9 months old already! what an incredibly blessing she is to us. she's always so happy and playful. she's definitely going to keep me busy with all her energy.

ainsley is just shy of 22 lbs (75% for her age)
29" tall (90% for her age)

ainsley is still crawling like a pro. she's so fast now, she'll disappear into another room without me noticing. she's walking along the couch and her crib, so who knows when walking will come. i still think she's unsure of the idea of not holding on to anything, so i think it will be a while.

we noticed another tooth is coming in...which makes 8!

she is still very social, but is at that stage where mom or dad need to be within sight.

she loves animals, especially dogs. she doesn't need to touch them, but when she sees them her whole body gets excited. its the cutest thing.

she's a great eater. anything that mom and dad are eating she wants to try.

she's mastered drinking from a straw now, which is adorable, and very helpful.

i love watching her grow and figure things out. i especially love seeing how excited she gets when duben comes home. she just adores him. she wont leave his side for at least 30 minutes once he's home. i am so blessed to have such a wonderful family.
