Nine Months 4/16/10

I was a week late taking some nine month photos of Avery but I don't think her looks changed too much in that one week. :-) At her nine month appt. Avery was 19lbs 2 oz. and 27.25 inches long. She's basically perfectly average for size.
At nine months, Avery is...
*tired of babyfood...she wants what we are eating...unless it's fruit
*on the move...sort of...in the crawling position she only goes backwards but she does get around the room on her butt doing some sort of crab walk
*babbling all the time
*giving wet, sloppy kisses
*clapping and waving hello and goodbye
*chewing with 3 and a half teeth...one top one is coming in VERY slowly

*AS CUTE AS CAN BE!
On April 10th we were remembering the call we got exactly one year ago at 12:55PM that began, "How do you feel about Missouri?...because that's where your baby's birthmother lives!" We were soooo excited to have gotten that call and then excitedly and nervously planning and preparing for the next three months. One year later we have a beautiful little girl who is the light of our lives.

That smile that will make anyone's day!
