Happy 9 months to my little girl! You wear 9-12 month clothes (though sometimes you fit in 12-18 month things...) and size 3 shoes. You say 3 words: Mama, Dada, and Bwabwa (brother) and you absolutely adore your brother. You love toys, especially those that James gives you to play with (and those that he ends up taking away). You have just started scooting around on your butt to get places, though you're pretty slow at it. Right now you have 4 teeth (two on top and two on bottom) and you love everybody once you get to know them a little bit. You really like to turn pages in books, and you love to look at books before you chew on them.

A Growth Report on the Kiddos

Chris is seriously the bravest man ever. He took this boy

and this girl

to the pediatrician for their 4 year and 9 month (respectively) checkups. By himself. Also, during the day, wee Delilah decided that it was a good time for her 4th tooth to break through. Both kids were rockstars about getting shots. James was a big fan of the dinosaur on the eye chart, and he had a nice talk with the doctor in which he bemoaned not getting too much junk food. He's also been super into puzzles lately (good thing he got so many for his birthday!)

Here are the stats, since I know you all want to know!
James: 39 1/2" tall (40th percentile)
          34 pounds (45th percentile)
Delilah: 28.75" tall (90th percentile)
           16 pounds 1/2 ounce (10th percentile)

Delilah isn't crawling yet but she's getting closer to being mobile- mostly James just brings her things, so I don't think she's very motivated, though she will rotate and scoot a teeny bit if she's sitting somewhere.  She's also been working on talking. Yep, talking. She is a REALLY early talker and has 3 words: Mama, Dada, and Bwabwa (brother). Bwabwa was a big surprise for all of us, but she certainly seems to mean it, and she lights up and says "BWABWA!" when she sees James. Sometimes this is followed by an attack kiss. I don't expect that she'll add many more words any time soon, but who knows. Her favorite food seems to be peas- she gobbles them up like there's no tomorrow.
