9 Months!

Annie hit the 9-month mark last week!  She had a fabulous check-up, weighing in at 20lbs. 2 oz (74%ile) and 28.5 inches "tall" (80%ile).  She's been on the same growth curve for the past several months.  We like consistency :)  The latest round of testing shows no evidence of milk/soy/egg allergies, so now we're (both) slowly phasing in yogurt, cheese, etc.  into our diets.  Yeah!!
Annie's crawling, pulling to stand, and starting to cruise along the furniture.  Her current favorite activities are playing Dan's drum, anything to do with music, and waving to family, friends, and strangers.  No teeth yet, but we sense they will be here soon.  Her happy yet sensitive personality continues to evolve, and we're proud to see her facing some of her fears with bravery (the food processor, vacuum, mom and dad coughing or sneezing...).  Separation anxiety has begun, but we pray she will soon learn that we will always come back for her!! 

"Hiiiiii!"
