9 months old!

I can't believe how fast the time goes by! Carlyn is 9 months old today! We took her for her 9 month appointment last week. She is doing great, other than her reflux. Her reflux had gotten worse the couple week prior to her appointment. We talked to her doctor about it, and he increased both of her reflux medications. I was a little bummed since this is normally the time they try to get them off of the medication...when they "grow out of it". But, she is doing much better now that the meds are on board!

Carlyn is weighing in at 17lbs, 10.5oz! She is 27 inches long. So, that puts her in the 40th% for weight, and the 50th% for height! She has such long legs too! Carlyn REALLY wants to walk. If you hold her hands, she just takes off! She never wants to sit or lay down anymore...she always wants to stand up and walk around! She also has NO interest in crawling! She gets on all fours, and then pushed herself to try to stand up! The doctor says he's pretty sure she'll skip crawling, and as long as she's rolling around to get what she wants, he's okay with that! She's SO stubborn!

She is at such a fun age right now! We just love her and have so much fun with her! She loves to play with her toes...especially her cookie monster! And, her favorite toy lately....Dude, the cat! She loves him. When shes' playing on the floor, and she sees him, she gets so excited and kicks her legs and says "C..T! She says the C and the T, but not really together, she says them as two different sounds! Dude also loves Carlyn, and he will lay down with her and play! They are buddies! Rosco is feeling a little left out!

Carlyn has a few "words" that she says...well tries to say anyway! She tries to say cat, up, no no, bye bye, and stop. She really says the consonants, but she knows what she's trying to say. She also has mama and dada down! She will point to us and say mama and dada...then we ask her where Carlyn is at, and she points to herself and smiles! She is also clapping and waving bye-bye. Carlyn is laughing and smiling all the time! Carlyn loves all her aunts and grandparents...and she gets so excited to see them. the time is going by so fast, I feel like I can't keep up with how fast she is growing! We are just having so much fun with her, and look forward to the next three months of her first year!
