1. At her 9-month checkup, Heather was 2′ 4.5″ (80.63%) and 16 lb 8.9 oz (12.26%). We are very pleased that she is growing and chunking up a bit (relatively, y’know).
2. I am the worst mom in the world, so Heather climbed out of the bath tub last night (yes, I had walked away) and fell on her head on the tile floor. Fortunately, she’s fine. I, however, suck.
At 9 months*, Heather:
Basically, we are having tons of fun with our little bear. She’s amazing and awesome and we love her so much!
*Yes, this post is very late. There were migraines and laziness and blah blah blah. But the good news is that I took notes and all this stuff (including the pictures) really was her at 9 months. Oh, and the 10-month post will probably also be late, as we will be traveling. Wish us luck!
Megan and Chad came to visit for the evening on Tuesday. So Heather got to meet her cousin Charlie. Believe it or not, Charlie is 6 weeks younger than Heather.
Heather finally got a long-desired wish; she got to touch the laptop. She was ecstatic.
Maybe it’s my imagination, but it really seems like she caught on to how I type and kind of, sort of tried to make her hands work the same way. She would occasionally stop mashing keys and gently slide her fingers across the touchpad. She also discovered the button that makes the menu pop up and disappear and she spent a bit of time pressing it repeatedly.
Jess gave Heather some cut-up plums. She really enjoyed them and made a royal mess. (Sorry for the shaky camera work, I cut it to 17 seconds to avoid the most nauseating part when I start walking to get closer to her.)
She was so pleased with herself. Also, she loves the camera. She’s a complete ham.
Let’s bring this meeting to order. First item of business: We’re going to need more plums.
This is her mugshot from the incident:
“Your charges will never stick! I’ll be back on the streets by tomorrow!”
