9 Month Birthday

Noelle turned 9 months old yesterday. We had a friend tell us that now we've had her as long as we waited for her. I thought that was sweet. She's still an absolute joy to us, and it's amazing to see her learning new things everyday.

We don't have a doctor's appointment for a couple of weeks, so I don't know her official stats yet. Here are some things she's doing now:

• Crawling EVERYWHERE and faster, too!


• She's pulling up to her knees.


• She can balance pretty well if we stand her up against a piece of furniture.


• She got her first (and second) "goose-egg" by bonking her head on the coffee table. Poor thing!


• She can say "uh-oh". Sometimes she says it in the right context, so I'm not sure if this will end up being her first word. I wonder if that means she'll be clumsy. Hmm...

I think that's about all for now. Not much exciting going on in our house. Enjoy the pics!
