Nine months?!




How did we get here?! How is my baby days away from being nine months old? She is growing so quickly, and I feel like time is slipping right past me.
She can stand on her own now (she loves to clap while doing this). I think she claps because she expects me to say, "Yay, Lili!" like I always do :O) Liliana is cruising around while holding on to anything and everything (including her baby friends!). She can now climb stairs as of yesterday - we discovered this during a trip to the museum when she followed her friend Maddy up the stairs! Boy, was I surprised. 
Still no hair, but that's okay. I think it's easier to take care of - it's hard enough to get dried cracker drool off of a bald head, much less a head full of hair! 

She currently loves to eat slices of pear and steamed parsnip (I know, I have a weird child). Trader Joe's O's are another favorite, along with muenster cheese and chicken broth. 

No teeth yet, but she is definitely feeling the pain of incoming ones. None are in sight, however...

We've hit a point where she fights bedtime. It's difficult, to say the least. I don't have the strength to talk about it, honestly. It's frustrating and hard.
