9 Months

Recently, Isla celebrated her 9 month birthday. What a month it has been! 
Some new things this month:
- Isla now has 3.5 top teeth (the 0.5 is one that is ALMOST there.... I can feel a little bit of it before I have to yank my finger out so that I don't get it taken off!)
- She is now pulling herself up to standing on every piece of furniture/leg she can find. She especially loves the dressers in her room because they have handles made just for this purpose. I came into her room the other day to find her with one leg up on the lowest drawer, all set to climb up to the top. uh oh)
- We dropped the mattress in her crib to the bottom level. I have yet to come in and see her standing (she usually has her face pressed to the bars) but I didn't want to risk it!
- She waves goodbye and hello to everyone she meets. She also makes a "hhh" sound when she does it....pretty sure this is her saying "hi". 
- Isla can sign bird. She absolutely LOVES birds, and bird watching in the back yard with daddy. She will sign bird if you do it too
- Grilled cheese sandwiches and blueberry pancakes are her fave foods
- Sitting up and reading her bath book are favourite parts of bath time... no more reclining in the baby bath. It is either sitting or standing!
-Isla is still doing her version of an army crawl. If she comes to an obstacle on the floor, she will get up onto her knees and do a proper crawl over top , and then go back down. Silly kid. She is pretty quick. I am pretty sure that she will just go from this to walking...skip the in between stuff. 

We are loving every minute of watching her grow!
