Hi All,
Another month down. Berkley is 9 months old. Today was her check up with the Pediatrician. She is 18 lbs, 2 oz (37th percentile) and 26 3/4" (25th percentile - for height she keeps bouncing from 25th to 50th percentile).
This girl is so close to walking it's scary! She's a fast crawler and just yesterday (technically, yes, this was AFTER she turned 9 months old) she stood up by herself without using something to pull herself up. She's making it look easy now and it's SCARY! Actually, she did take 3-4 steps all by herself last week, but I'm not sure she even knows she did it.
She has her first tooth coming in. I thought she was getting a second one - SWORE I saw it three or four times in one day - but now I see nothing. Her tooth is super cute. It's about half way in. It broke the skin on August 30, 2009 (8 1/2 months old).
Every year, my college roommates and I take a trip. This year, we went to Indianapolis to visit Lauren. Now that she is mobile, Berkley does NOT like being confined to her car seat, so Jon and I took turns sitting in the back on the way there and back. Not fun, but better than listening to her SCREAM bloody murder! We went to the Children's Museum that weekend, which was really fun. There were places for babies to play, as well as the bigger kids, so everyone had a good time.
Over Labor Day Weekend, we took Berkley camping in our pop-up camper for the first time in Traverse City. We went with Jon's friend, Jason, and his family (plus extended family). That was a great weekend! Thankfully it was not quite the disaster I had imagined beforehand! The kids and the adults all had a great time. I can't wait to take her camping again!
Tammy and Jon
