\"\"<\/a>Alison you have been an outside baby as long as you were an inside baby.\u00a0 Watching you grow and learn and change is such an awesome reminder of God’s power.\u00a0 I can’t tell you how much I love being your mom and how much I love all the time we spend on the ground playing every night.<\/p>\n

Weight 18pounds (35th%)<\/p>\n

Length: 27 inches (25th%)<\/p>\n

Head circumfrence: 17.75 (70th%)<\/p>\n

Such a tiny little girl…with a big old Reasonover head \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

At nine months you still only have 2 teeth.\u00a0 You are wearing size 2 diapers and 6-12month or 9month clothes (but you can still fit into some of your 3-6 month onesies!)\u00a0 I am trying to work on putting shoes on you.\u00a0 You aren’t a fan of shoes and it really is my fault.\u00a0 I don’t think I bought any shoes for you until the last month.\u00a0 You never put them on for the first 8 months of your life, so its no wonder you aren’t a fan.\u00a0 Now that it’s getting colder I need to start training you to keep your shoes on.<\/p>\n

You are turning into a picky eater.\u00a0 You will eat any and all fruit, but you aren’t such a fan of veggies or meat.\u00a0 You are also compeletly over being fed with a spoon.\u00a0 If you can’t feed yourself you aren’t interested.\u00a0 Except when it comes to applesauce.\u00a0 Applesauce is affectionally known as ‘baby crack’ around our house.\u00a0 If you won’t eat your carrots we mix it with applesauce.\u00a0 Then you will eat it all!\u00a0 Works with almost everything.\u00a0 You don’t like much protein except black beans, so I’m feeding you lots of those.\u00a0 We are starting to work with a sippy cup (with water) and the doctor gave us the go ahead to add milk in small amounts to the cup soon.\u00a0 We have started yogurt, so it’s ok to start adding some milk.<\/p>\n

Sleeping is still a challenge with you little girl.\u00a0 You do sleep through most nights, but on the nights you don’t sleep we have a hard time getting you to go back down.\u00a0 You just want me to hold you all.the.time!!<\/p>\n

This past month you finally starting crawling for real and not just army crawling.\u00a0 Now you are all over the place and into everything.\u00a0 You can pull yourself to standing and like to play with toys where you stand up.\u00a0 I am not ready for you to walk so just stay on the ground \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

You L-O-V-E your brother.\u00a0 You are finally getting tougher and sturdier so I can let the two of you play.\u00a0 You love to sit back and watch Reed when he’s acting goofy or wrestling with Daddy.\u00a0 You just watch him with those huge blue eyes and laugh and laugh and laugh.\u00a0 Oh we have such a great time in the evenings after work.<\/p>\n

You like to blabber a lot!\u00a0 (Randy says you are just like me, but I disagree).\u00a0 You will look at Randy and say da-da, but I don’t think it is intentional.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The cutest little development I have seen is that you will hold your hand up as though you are waving, but you don’t actually wave.\u00a0 When we leave the nursery at church you always hold up your hand to the girls when we leave.\u00a0 They get SUCH a kick out of it.<\/p>\n

My favorite thing is that when you are on the ground and want me to pick you up you will hold up your arms and open\/close your hands.\u00a0 I know I talk about how much you want to be held and about how you only want me to hold you.\u00a0 This is a problem when I’m trying to get ready for work or make dinner…but oh this brings me such incredible joy.\u00a0 There isn’t much more I want out of this life than the happiness I get from you (and Reed).\u00a0 When you hold you little hands up for me to pick you up\u00a0I will literally drop whatever I’m doing to satisfy your request.\u00a0 I love you so much sweet girl.<\/p>\n
