9 Months!

Isabel is nine months old today! Her personality is really starting to show these days. She bounces when she hears music, and she is really starting to giggle and play more. She loves to play with the pots and pans and almost dives out of my arms when I open that cabinet door.

She has two bottom teeth, and two top teeth are on their way in. She has become a really good eater lately. She really likes chicken and noodles, scrambled eggs, fruit, macaroni and cheese, chili, anything really!

She walks well with her push walker and is starting to stand unassisted for a few seconds at a time. She says mama when she is sad or tired and wants me to hold her.

I cancelled her nine month doctor check-up due to the COVID-19 stay at home order. She isn't due for any vaccinations, and I don't have any worries or questions for the doctor, so the check up would have just been a fun visit to see how much she has grown and to talk about development. Even though we didn't really need to go, it's sad to have to cancel, and it feels so strange that this is our reality right now. I'll have to weigh and measure her at home because she is definitely a growing girl!

This last picture makes me so happy because I finally have a picture of her double ankle roll! Natalie and I love that little roll. She's just so squishy and snuggly! She still holds the title of favorite sibling, and she seems to be accustomed to all of the smothering and rough hugs that come with that title. We all love our sweet Isabel.
