9 Month Update

Holy moly, our little baby is 9 months old! Aubrey is getting to be such a big girl and is becoming independent and doing more things on her own. I am proud that she is developing so much each month, but it also makes me a bit sad at how fast the time has gone.

 

Some developments/loves this month:

• Pulling herself up to standing. Yes, she will pull herself up on anything...you name it.
• Saying "mama". Makes Mommy pretty darn happy!
• Crawling. No longer a few steps girl, now Aubrey is crawling all over the place.  She comes to find Mommy and Daddy when they are in another room. So much fun!
• Going on adventures and exploring. This month has been all about curiosity since she can now crawl and she crawls all over the place checking things out.
• Becoming more ticklish. She loves having her tummy tickled along with her legs and feet and lets out the loudest, deepest laugh.
• Babbling. Aubrey loves talking to herself as well as anyone else who will listen. When I pick her up from daycare, she will sit in her carseat and just talk and talk. I'm sure she is telling me about her day, I just wish I could understand what she is saying!
• Being independent. Yes, she loves to be held and cuddled still, but Aubrey also loves playing by herself.
• Banging things together. Anything that she can pick up in her hands, she will hit together to make noises. A future musician possibly?
• An attitude. Yes, that is right.  Aubrey will now let anyone know when she is not happy with something or if she wants something. This might be the start to a long journey, but at least it will be a fun one!
• People watcher. Aubrey does so well going shopping. She will just sit in her stroller and stare at people as they walk by. She is amazed by other babies and takes in everything.
• Second tooth. The second tooth finally came in this month.
