Hadley will be turning 9 months in 3 days. I know I say it every month, but I really can't believe how fast she has grown! She already has her two bottom middle teeth and she is getting her top four front teeth, which means she has been quite cranky lately. She will be crawling any day now (even though I want her to stay immobile for as long as possible ha ha).
She still loves to scratch at everything to feel the different textures, she jabbers all the time and says "ma ma" "da da" "ba ba" and other words that she has no idea what she is saying, loves to do the spit noise and lip buzzes, is still obsessed with her feet and will grab them both when she is sitting in her stroller and pull them out to a full straddle, and grabs at everything! She is very alert and curious about everything. She is such a great sleeper and napper now thank goodness, and she loves her morning oatmeal more than anything.
She loves to go for walks, HATES getting her face wiped and hates to get dressed. She has started to eat her bows on her headbands even though I get mad at her every time. She still loves Baby Einsteins, when I jump up and down, and fans. She really loves playing with toy balls and turning pages of her books. Hadley has also started to wave, but I don't think she realizes what she is doing yet. The only way I can get her to eat her food (except for oatmeal) is to give her the lid of the pouch or container to play with - for some reason she will open her mouth when she gets to play with the lids. Whatever works. She also knows how to play "Where's Hadley?" and covers her face with her blanket so we can say "There she is!" when she brings it down. It's the best sound in the world to hear her laugh, talk, and pretty much jabber about anything else.
I really can't believe she is already 9 months, and we look forward to each day that we get to spend with her. Chris has been in Washington for the past 4 weeks and is dying to come home to be with us (mainly Hadley - I don't blame him). Hadley is always a very happy baby and very well behaved. Let's hope it stays that way. Fingers crossed.
