Samantha update

Samantha is now 9 months old and I cannot believe how fast the year is going. Every day just seems to be getting better and better. Here are some of the things she is doing:
- weighs 17 lbs 13 oz and is 26 3/4 inches tall
- sleeps: AWESOME! usually about 12 hours a night. Naps are short as usual but today she has taken some awesome naps.
- She sleeps with a little bear and a blanky. I can watch her in the monitor pull the blanket around and snuggle up to it. One of my books suggested getting a lovey which is a blanket or animal to sleep with. After trial and error she finally chose those too. She has 3 other little animals in the crib but those are the two she cuddles with. Its so sweet.
- She gives us the best hugs and kisses.
- She waves viciously with both hands while bouncing up and down on her bottom.
- Says Mama, says Dada and says Da Da when the dogs walk by. It is different than Dada.
- She crawls everywhere including up the stairs. We have not conquered down the stairs.
- She eats real food now. She still eats baby food but loves when I cut up food from my plate, especially chicken.
- She loves to wrestle and tackle Mommy to give her kisses.
- When we pick her up she pats us with both hands.
- She has a walker that she loves to push and walk. We are wearing out the carpet downstairs.
Overall, we are having a really fun time right now. No big changes, just having fun.
