P.S.....

Even the doctor said how smart my baby is for her age!

I birthed a baby genius!! ;)

I forgot to post her stats for her 9 month post, so here you go -

Nakiah was 24.5 pounds and 28 1/2 inches long. She is 90+ percentile for weight and 75+ percentile for length. She's growing perfectly. She has 10 teeth now and is working on 2 more. She is now constantly on the go. She hates to sit down and LOVES to climb our stairs. When its time for a nap and she isn't ready to miss something, she goes and goes and goes until she literally can't go any more. Sleeping is not her favorite thing these days, but 3 or 4 am seems to be. As much as I would love for her to be sleeping better ( I think her teeth are bothering her ) I can't complain, she is still the happiest, most content baby I could ever have asked for. She literally has a smile on her face all the time, even at 3 am. If I didn't see/feel the teeth popping through, I wouldn't believe she was teething.

She has also found a love of jabbering. Shes talking all day long now. She will sometimes sit by herself with her toys and talk and talk and talk to them, it really is music to my ears! She gives kisses every day, but only when she wants to, not when you ask her....unless Grampa asks her. She is totally in love with her Grampa, which of course he eats up. She has him wrapped so tight around her little finger, she has no idea the power she possesses.

She's also really starting to share things. If she is eating something, especially at dinner time, she really wants to share with mommy and to be honest, she's a bit pushy! If I don't take a bite of whatever slime is in her hands or on her spoon, she keeps reaching it out to me until I've tasted it for her. Meals have become a bit messy, but I don't mind. She has fun and I enjoy watching her play. Sometimes I even give her her own bowl of food and a spoon. Its amazing how big a mess a baby can make with a couple table spoons of food.

Nine months has gone by incredibly fast and I can't believe she's well on her way to celebrating her first birthday. Its been the most enjoyable 9 months!! I couldn't ask for more.
