Nine Months Old!

Our beautiful little Caroline turns nine months old today! She has really become more active the last month. She's crawling everywhere and she's very fast. She pulls up on everything including your leg. Sometimes she hangs on, sometimes she lets go. She will stand about a second and then goes down. She also has started eating snacks like puffs and Cheerios. She had her appt today and she is 29 inches long (90th%) and 19 lbs, 9 oz (65th%). Since she has gotten so active, she has lost a lot of the arm and leg rolls. She is wearing 12-18 months clothes.

Christmas was great! We had our family Christmas at our house on the 23rd. She liked tearing the paper. We left early Christmas eve to miss the weather and just barely did. It was still a little slick coming back and our neighborhood was slick for at least two weeks.

The boys got a tunnel/tent thing and Caroline wanted to get in on the action.

Christmas morning

After Christmas I was putting up all her new clothes and needed to make room. I was putting up her small stuff and got so sad at how small they were! This is jeans she fits in now and the pants she wore to her first doctor's appt. They were so long on her!

Showing off her feeding herself skills!

Some month picture outtakes

It was finally a little warm today so before her doctor's appt we went to a park to swing. She loves it! It has been so cold the last few weeks and I know she has felt cooped up. I hate to get her out of the house if it is below freezing unless we have to go somewhere and there was 2+ weeks where it stayed in the 20's or below. Can't wait for spring!

I am working in the ER this month and it is great! You have to work 15 twelve hour shifts and that feels like I have so much time off. I can definitely see why people want to have this lifestyle! It seems crazy that I just have three more rotations left! I graduate on May 14th and am so excited!
