9 Months Old!

Our little girl is 9 months old!  She is into EVERYTHING! This month she has had bruises, tiny scrapes, bumps on her head, etc. from her curiosity getting the best of her!  She loves all of the books on our bookshelves.  She hasn't ripped any pages out so far, she just likes to turn the pages and chew on the covers.  She has about 3 million toys and likes to play with everything that isn't a toy.  Our house looks like an ad for Fisher Price with all of her stuff laying around.
She finally went through all of the baby food that I made her, so we have started to transition to textured and chunky food.  She enjoys most of it, but is definitely still getting used to it. 
She is just about pulling herself to a standing position on furniture and toys.  She does this funny one-legged half standing, half kneeling pose when she is cruisin' the bookshelves, couches, and chairs.
She has REALLY started to be interested in Buffett this month.  She wants to constantly be by him.  She tries to hand him her toys and he gladly takes them (even though he knows he isn't supposed to!).  She likes to look at his face since they are usually at the same eye level and then he feels he just HAS to lick her... EVERY TIME!  Drives me batty!  However, I am SO glad that Buffett loves her.  He has really surprised us with how gentle he is around her.  It is great to see!
Finley has her 9 month check-up on Wednesday with Dr. Lyon.  We are looking forward to going to that as a family.  I haven't seen Dr. Lyon since her 6 month appointment, so I have a LONG list of questions for her. :) 
Finley has started to have a bit of separation anxiety... It is sometimes hard to pull yourself away when she is so sad, but we also know that once we are gone for a few minutes, she perks back up and is back to her happy self.  It also makes it easier knowing that when I leave her at daycare, she is in very capable and loving hands!  Such a relief. :)
Finley continues to surprise us and make us laugh every single day.  We are both looking forward to the next month of growth and milestones.  We love you sunshine!!!!
 Ok, she literally leaped off the chair right after this photo!  Thank goodness Cory was there to catch her!

 The 'official' pic for the baby book.  It is the only we got of her actually sitting next to the blocks! HA!
The majority of them look like this :)  She couldn't get away fast enough and wanted to play with the neck strap on my camera the whole time!
