Kate at 9 months

Kate is incredibly mobile these days. She seems to love the stairs, as she crawls toward and up them as soon as she is placed on the floor. I'm not afraid of her falling on her way up, but let's just say that she is better going up than going down.

Here's what she has been up to after 9 months:

• 17 lbs., 1 oz. and 27 1/2” long
• saying ma, na
• cries for mom (38 wks)
• moving from the couch to the coffee table while standing (37 wks)
• when falling back she will break at the waist to fall on her bum (37 wks)
• second tooth (37 wks)
• to get to the ground from a stand she turns sideways, drops one knee to the ground and reaches for the ground with one hand (36 wks)
