Up, Down, Touch the Ground

I haven't been good about writing lately. Chrisily is keeping me very busy! She has gone from rolling/army crawling as her mode of transportation to full out crawling and she is even doing some 'cruising' (walking while holding on to furniture). She has been crawling for several weeks now. She is a pro at it and very rarely reverts back to army crawling. At first she would drop back to her belly to do the army crawl since she was faster that way, but not anymore! Her vocabulary has also expanded. She says mama, dada, nana, and sometimes it sounds like she repeats 'hi' or 'hey'. She is still the happiest baby. She has learned to pull up on things to stand and she does it All.The.Time. She is starting to experiment with letting go for a second or two. She is also perfecting her 'sit down' from standing. It seems like every day she masters a new skill or says something new. Just the other day she climbed the doggy stairs. You read that correctly, she climbed the doggy stairs!
It is so hard to believe that she is already 9 months old. She has now been out in this world for as long as she was in my belly. At her 9 month appointment she weighed 20.6lbs (72%) and was 29inches long (92%).
These last 18 months have been the happiest of my life. She makes my heart smile. It melts my heart to see how excited she gets when Jacob comes home from work. She loves her daddy so much. Ihad planned to write more but Chrisily has decided to only take a 45 minute nap, so my motherly duties call!
