9 Months.....

.......to the day this time. Happy 9 month birthday baby girl!!

Avery claps (for the first time today), says "uh-oh", waves and says "bye, bye" (buh, buh), got her sixth tooth, and has decided to regress from walking temporarily, but has successfully mastered standing without holding on. She loves to push things......any things: cars, wagons, toys that generally shouldn't be pushed, but it's not the sitting and playing kind of pushing, it is the standing or knee-walking kind of pushing where she starts at one end of the room and goes until she hits an obstacle, typically a wall or another toy. Sometimes, she manages to plow right through anyway. She is definitely our "bull in a china shop".

I've never seen a baby love her big brother soooo much!

First Steps

I never realized how hard it was to take a video of a baby trying to walk. They never do it when you want them to and when your finally ready, they fall down a million times while you waste video. Of course finding the camera wrist strap much more interesting doesn't help with the process either. This was the best I could get for a fifteen minute effort.
