This is a really fun age! Abigail seems to really be developing into a little person. We can more clearly see her personality, she is able to express herself pretty well, and she is getting to be much more mobile. We took her for her well-child visit yesterday, she tipped the scales at 14#6oz. (1st percentile!), 28" (60th percentile). She has a frame similar to Ben's (and Steven's): long and lean. In a one-week period, she began knee-crawling, cruising, and standing for a few seconds unassisted. I have a hunch she may be an early walker. Keeping up with brother is a big motivator! She's eating okay, doesn't want to be fed by us. So, lots of finger foods (avocado, sweet potato, peas, etc.) and cheerios are the fare around here. She's sleeping much better in the last couple weeks, most of the time through the night (12 hours) with 2 short daytime naps of about 1 hour each. She's a sweetie pie! I can't believe its already been 9 months...
