Lexie's 9 month

Lexie had her 9 month appointment about a week ago and I am just now finding the time to write about it.  Again, she is a very healthy baby.  Praise God!  She is currently 17 pounds, 12 ounces (30th percentile) and about 28 inches long (75th percentile) so she is long and lean!  Very good to hear!  She also apparently has a huge head (90th percentile).  Mark says that this is to house all of those brains!  LOL!  She did very good at the appointment and it certainly didn't hurt that there were no shots to deal with this time. 

Lexie has been busy learning more and more new skills.  She is a very fast crawler these days and is able to pull herself into a standing position.  She hasn't tried to move her feet once she gets up there but we can see that this will happen any day now.  Lexie is also the proud owner of 4 teeth, 2 top and 2 bottom.  :) 
Lexie's current repertoire of tricks includes giving kisses, waving and playing peek-a-boo.

Lexie's 9 month shot.

Lexie's first pigtails.

Tried out the swimming pool but the water was too cold...so we hung out on the blanket instead.

Exited to be able to reach into the toy box on her own!

Lexie discovered "behind the couch."  A world previously only explored by the dogs.  

And in the process she found the only outlet we hadn't baby-proofed...and A LOT of dog fur!  

Oh, the joys of being 9 months old!
