Belle at NINE months

Oh blue eyes, how I love you.  At nine months you are still long and lean at eighteen pounds and 78th percentile for length with no teeth, but one big gummy grin.  Man you have me figured out too.  You know exactly what tone of crying will make me drop what I am doing and rush to your side to make you happy.  You prefer to have us holding you up on your feet now while you stand and sway side to side with a smile of accomplishment.  Still no interest in crawling, just standing and checking things out around you.  You are becoming so vocal, lots of happy shrieks, you are saying your m's now (almost Mama!).  When your Dad takes you for a run you wake the entire neighborhood up with your babbling.  You are pointing at everything and have even done a few waves of good bye either by accident or on purpose.  You really enjoy putting your finger in every person's mouth that you meet, we think you are going to be dentist due to your interest in teeth.  You move toys from hand to hand and seem to enjoy toys that are the color blue the most.  You really love it when Mom or Dad give you an iPhone and you poke at everything on the screen.  You are perfect in each and every way and we soak up every minute we have with you.
