nine months young

Time is flying by! My baby is already 9 months old! I don't even want to think about when she turns 1... boo... hoo... She is definitely our little buddy around here with such a personality! She's a bit of a menace and gets into EVERYTHING over and over and over and over again.
She...
*has TWO teeth - FINALLY
*waves hi and goodbye (without having to help her do it) as of a few days ago
*can walk while you hold just one of her hands (but super slow)
*tries to climb up onto anything - coffee table... couch... love sack
*pulls out our dvds and decorates our floor with them, sits, and stomps on them
*can stand without holding onto anything for a long time until she gets tired or feels unsure then she squats down to the floor
*does "bonka" where she gently (surprisingly gentle) bumps her forehead to yours when you say that word
*break dances... well she bobs her head and bum to music... but maybe one day...
*loves being tossed onto the love sack and to play pretty rough - but don't toss her into the air more than once or twice or she holds her breath, her eyes pop out, and she whines
*holds onto one ear when she drinks a bottle and flicks her own ears when she notices them
*loves any food that comes off of our plate, still lovin the really thick baby food (hates when it's runny or thin), has to be forced to drink enough milk in one day
*has been to: Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Texas, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana (Minnesota next weekend, Florida next month)

*is the most delightfully happy baby that we are quite obsessed with

After looking through all your pictures, Char has both yours and Ben's attributes. What a cute little blend she is.

I can't believe she is 9 months already! You can tell she has TONS of personality...LOVE it! I remember Maddi getting teeth in late, about 10 months, but Brody just got his first 2 teeth @ FIVE months!
