In a few days our Roosey Roo (our kids will never know their real names) will be nine months old. I feel that she has jumped from 6 months to 9 months in a few days. She had her checkup early since we were in town and here's how she measured up: 100th percentile for heighth and 50th for weight. She weighed in at 18 lbs 12 oz which is only a few ounces more than her last visit, but the doctor thinks it's because she's been so sick lately and she's so active. He wasn't worried about her red cheeks, just said they were a little dry. Besides having to get some prescription diaper rash cream for a yeast infection due to antibiotics, she's good to go! She loved flirting with the intern doctor and showed off her strength by doing a full situp without using her arms while on the exam table. It was a good visit with NO shots :)
Here's a list to describe our Roo Roo these days at nine months old:
1. Loves giving her baby dolls hugs and kisses.
2. Loves giving her new cousin hugs and kisses.
3. Splashes as much as possible in the bath to make her sister scream.
4. Gives anyone that is giving her attention a squinty eyed goofy smile look.
5. Shakes her head no and refuses to open her mouth for food she hates.
6. Shakes her head no and smiles when we tell her "no"
7. Favorites toys: cable cords, electrical cords, cameras, remotes, stairs, doors, and Macey's Dora underwear.
8. She crawls and stands up along anything. Starting to try to cruise along furniture or walk with a walker, but her legs just don't know quite what to do.
9. LOVES music or any beat. She's quite the bouncer/dancer.
10. Adores her big sister.
11. Plays bashful and hides her face on Mommy's shoulder. (I love this)
12. Hates to get her pj's on.
13. Loves the Dora theme song.
14. Sucks her thumb and snuggles with her blankie.
15. Wears size 12 or 18 months
16. Needs most of her food mixed with oatmeal to eat it.
17. Is a terrible bottle feeder unless she's in a quiet room and is tired.
18. Has a Mommy, Daddy, and Sister who love her dearly!!!!!!!
my list ended up longer than anticipated :)

She is a special darling gal. Will likely not get her any toys yet for Christmas since she is into things laying around the house. Maybe she will be an engineer or electrition when she grows up.
Love Rachel's idea, maybe I will just send our computer box, cardboard with lots of things I cannot identify...cords, discs, jump drives...all the things I no nothing about, have no idea what they belong to and would gladly part with...seriously, what a great update. I imagine she will be walking on her own for Christmas. What a gal
19. Has an Aunt Brenda who loves her and her sister too! :)
She is so precious!
She could be the next "Gerber Baby." What a doll.
