9 whole months - by delaney

i almost didn't get my post done today what with celebrating my 9 month day with my first hurricane and all. :) i'm bound by duty though, so here i am!
my mom dragged me all around town again this month.
i don't mind though, as long as i'm being held, i'm a good little travel buddy!
i have lots of new skills! i walk along furniture. i can stand, for only about 5 seconds, but still. i drink from a sippy cup, very messily, but still. i clap, and laugh, and get into everything! i still put everything into my mouth but i'm getting better about not gagging on it. i make all sorts of noises including clicks with my tongue. i bang toys together and can (usually) occupy myself for longish periods of time.
and i play peek-a-boo!
where's laney???
there she is!
where's laney???
there she is!
i also crawl upstairs. not all of them (yet!) but one or two, and i'm there!
i know this is blurry, but this is one of my cool new faces.
i am so helpful. always working, always helping.
every day.
nature has won out over nurture again.
looks like i'm gonna be a hair twirler!
when i get some hair, that is.
when i nurse lately i keep my hand on my head and i pick at my hair.
just like my nani, uncle jeff, and big sissy lexi.
my mom says it's pretty weird, but what does she know?
this halloween business has been kinda rough on me.
i've had to try on so many ridiculous costumes!
i even had to wear some of them out of the house!
i don't like having things on my head, can you tell?!
dalmation, hot dog, kitty, what next, mom?
okay, it wasn't all bad.
just mostly.
(another cool new face!)
i love to climb! here i am doing two of my favorite things, climbing and making messes.
just look at all this fun baby stuff my mom's trying to get rid of.
she's crazy!
i've tried lots of new food again this month.
and i don't love it.
here i am trying tofu.
at first it was so good!
but then... not so much.
hopefully someday i'll like to eat solid food.
oh and eating with your feet up is always in fashion.
i'm still a pretty sweet baby, except... my sleep is pretty bad. like really bad, i like to wake up and eat a lot. and i'm getting lots of new teeth, so that's made me a little irritable. but other than that, i'm golden.
okay, sandy has me all exhausted, so i'm outta here.
i'll see you next month. until then i'll just be hanging out all jaba the hut, no neck style.
love,
