Lily is 9 months!

Lily had her 9-month check-up earlier this month, and she is now 15.13 lbs (12%) and 26.25 inches (7%).  Since her formula intake has always been pretty low, she has actually dropped percents in weight and only gained less than a pound in three months.  She loves real food, but I cannot get her to take more than 18 oz of formula a day.  Our doctor isn't too concerned since she is still very healthy and growing, albeit slowly.

Lily is a crawling machine these days! She has graduated from the army crawl to the all fours crawl.  She can also put herself into a sitting position, and does it all the time now.  She broke her two bottom teeth on 12/12/12, and has been having horrible teething pains ever since.  Just this past week, Lily pulled herself up to standing for the first time.  She has been obsessed with trying to stand ever since and I love watching her determination and concentration.  She is bored with her toys now and only has eyes for James and his "big" toys, much to James's chagrin.  Luckily, it is giving him a crash course in sharing.

Lily is such a joy in our family and has developed the cutest little "cheese" face where she shows all of her gums.  I have yet to capture it on camera! Until then, this adorable little pic will do.  :)
