Our baby girl is growing up so fast!!!  When I got out her stickers we were already on the last page (tear...).  These past 9 months have been so fun to watch her grow and develop her own personality and to notice the differences between her and her brother!  Ahnie and AJ's relationship is starting to develop and I just love how caring he is for her and how much she lights up and laughs at him!  So sweet!!!

This past month Ahnie has been feeding herself mainly.  I only feed her apple sauce and oatmeal.  Everything else she wants to feed herself!  This makes dinner time a lot easier.  We can all eat at the same time!  She is still a good eater!  We have tried grilled cheese, chicken nuggets, chicken noodle soup, spaghetti, oranges, turkey sandwich, and corn.

Ahnie continues to sleep through the night.  She is a great sleeper!  She usually takes a nap for 1 1/2 to 2 hrs in the morning and again in the afternoon.  Then she goes to sleep for the night around 7 and wakes up at 7 in the morning.

Ahnie is now standing by herself all the time!  She likes to push herself up from my legs on the floor and just stand by herself!  She has not taken any steps but is getting more and more balanced each day.  She is also getting very quick while she is crawling!  Nothing is off limits in our house anymore.  She has started putting everything in her mouth and she is very quick at this too!  She loves to look at you with a big grin, put something in her mouth and turns and crawl as fast as she can!

Ahnie loves to take baths now and if you are ever looking for her you can usually find her standing up at the bath tub!  If the door is open she is wanting in there.  Luckily she has not found the toilet yet.  But she has found Jacoby's water dish the few times we have played in the kitchen while I try getting something done.  She also has fun opening my cabinets and cleaning them out for me. :)

Ahnie has really started to babble a lot this month!  She is always saying something.  The only thing we have made out is dadada but not sure if she connects that to Brett.  If you ask AJ what Ahnie is saying he just says "she talks about dada a lot!"  She signs 'all done' and 'more'.
