Nine Months

Ensley turned nine months last Monday. I can't believe how much faster the last nine months have gone by in comparison to the nine months of the pregnancy. I was watching her play Tuesday morning before her check-up and it is unbelievable to me that nine months ago she just laid helplessly in a bassinet all day waiting to be fed. Nine months later she lays in her crib only to sleep, then stands up calling for us to come get her (not by name of course though). We can hardly get her to eat now because all she wants to do is get down and explore. Three months ago all she wanted to do was open wide for her next bite because that was the newest most exciting thing in her life. She is growing so fast!!!
During her check up on Tuesday, she was 28 inches long (75%), 18 lbs (50%), and her head circumference is 18 inches (90%). The pediatrician also spotted her first ear infection. She did not have a fever and had not been tugging or fussing...bless her heart, she is such a good baby! So we have started on her first antibiotic. My mom was amazed that she just opened up wide for her dose of medicine, and I don't know any different. I just assumed that the majority of children do that, but apparently Ensley is the minority.
The week before last she finally had her bottom two teeth break through. Again, never fussy or irritable. They have come out enough now that you can see them and they are so cute!!
Like I said earlier, all she wants to do is move around now. It is difficult to change her diaper or her clothes because she just wants to move. She is cruising around the couch and coffee table and crawling everywhere!
When she wakes up from her Sunday afternoon nap, we are taking her to the pool for the first time. We are so excited!! Stay tuned for pictures!
