9 months old!

Grace turned 9 months old yesterday! I can't believe it's been 9 months since we brought home our perfect little girl. She is so much fun and is so close to crawling. She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth and scoots backwards. It will be any day now and she'll be mobile! She is such a blessing in our lives and I can't even remember what it was like without her! She had her 9 month check up today and here are her stats: 28 1/2 inches tall (80th percentile) and 18 lbs 13 oz (50th percentile). The doctor said she is just as perfect as can be and surprised at how good she is. It's true; we are spoiled. She's slept through the night since she was about 3 months old and has never really given us any trouble. We are so grateful for her and feel so lucky to be her parents.

This is her "duck face". It's not captured perfectly here, but you can see where it's headed. She started making this face recently and it cracks us up every time. She's so much fun!
