Yesterday Kiana turned 9 months old! She went to the doctor yesterday and weighed 14 lbs 9 oz and is 26 inches long. She's still in the bottom 5th percentile for both length and weight. The doctor reassures us everytime though that he's not concerned at all about her, she's just tiny. She's stopped wearing her 6 months clothes earlier this month so we are in all of our 6-9 month clothes now. Some of her 9 month footies are starting to outgrow her so she's sleeping in a limited number until she fit into her 12 month pajamas soon.
She's been doing so much in the last month. She learned to sit up on her own, she reaches for me now, if I sit next to her she can climb up on me to a standing position, and she has walked across a coffee table on her own. Her Great Grandma Wilma has a very low height coffee table that seems perfect for her. One night she walked across the whole table to get a toy, it took about a half hour but I didn't touch her once. I just spotted her from behind so she didn't fall and hurt herself. We also expect her to start crawling in the next couple of days, she does push ups and gets up on her feet and can get her knees under her now. She also started moving her knees back and forth, but hasn't quite figured out to move her arms. She did do a few army crawls last night, but she prefers to be up on her knees and bounce back and forth, she just hasn't moved her arms yet. She's still babbling away and loves motorboating with her lips. She's starting spitting about a week ago, so were hoping this is a new sign of some teeth, but probably not!
Here is what I consider Kiana's cheesy smile!
I don't know how long were going to be able to do this with the blocks...she loves playing with them!
Here she is standing like a big girl. Our coffee table at home is a little too high for her to get her balance to walk across, but she does love standing.
She's so close to crawling, her she is doing her pushups. It's hard to get a side picture of her doing pushups, because everytime I go to her side she spins around so that she is facing me.
Holding in the plank position, this girl is going to have abs of steel.
Kiana was having difficultly learning how her sippy cup is supposed to work, so while we were in IA we tried one of Colin's out that had a soft tip spout. She seemed to like it better so when we got home we replaced her's with one like Colins. It only took a few minutes for her to learn how to drink out of it herself. She's turning into such a big girl!
