Natalie Kate is 9 months old...

Little Miss Natty-Pants  is 9 months old.  We went for her check-up and as we expected she is practically perfect in every way!  She weighs in at 17 pounds 11 ounces.  She is 90th percentile for height and 25th percentile for weight...tall and thin.  I told her to soak it in while she can!  

The highlight of the check-up was when our pediatrician asked me if she had started clapping. Ummm, completely stunned I asked,  "is she suppose to be clapping???"  You may be thinking that this is our third baby and I should probably have pretty good knowledge of childhood milestones by now.  But, here's the truth.  It's not the milestones that I have knowledge of...it's the knowledge of how fast it all goes by that has been occupying my mind during these last 9 months.  This sweet girl that I still regard as my teeny tiny baby is really a busy little baby girl who is full of life, on the move, and learning new things everyday.   At nine months she is crawling all over the place, pulling up to her knees, just starting to eat Cheerios, and is a little bit shy.   

Baby Yoga at its finest...just for the record, her highchair is tilted back a bit.  But still....wow!


Here's Natalie with cousin Emmett (who will be 1 this month) and Auntie Shannon is holding them.  

Sweet girl

Proof that she is crawling all over. Here she was peeking out from under Bubby and Papa's table.  She was so proud that she crawled in there.

I thought you were going to say that you went home started practicing clapping with her. That's what i would've done. :-)
Clapping......i never remembered any of our Peds asking that but then again, i do have Mommy brain.
Your children are beautiful and it really is hard to believe Matalie is 9 months!
