In a shameless rip-off of Julie's six month update for Nicholas, here is our nine month version for Avery. And no, there was no coffee in the Starbucks cup - she just really loves playing with them. Looks like she'll be taking after Mama anyway! :)Weight: 18lbs 14oz (pretty average and about what Nicholas was at 6 months :)
Height: 28 inches (just slightly taller than average)
Eye Colour: Greeny-brown, but changing with every outfit
Hair Status: Rocking the faux-hawk most of the time, waiting patiently for enough hair to put a barrette in
Teeth Status: Two bottom front teeth came in 2 months ago, still waiting for the rest of them
Nicknames: Sweetpea, Monkey, Doodles, Squirt
Prized Collection: Shoes! Already taking after Mommy, Gramma Sandy and Great Aunt Arlene, Avery owns 9 pairs of shoes, slippers and booties. And Mommy most certainly did not buy all of them.
Biggest accomplishments: pulling herself up anywhere and everywhere, crawling up a long flight of stairs with bum support from Mommy or Daddy, clapping, waving, shaking her head "no" and saying "mama" for just about everything (but I know she really means me :)
Ways to describe her physique: healthy baby girl, cutest budda belly and feet
Favorites: Trus and the cats, the "exerpooper", her mini-soccer ball, pulling books off the bookshelf, TV, and still anything she can put in her mouth
Most likely career: Surgeon (due to her manual dexterity in finding the tiniest bits on the floor to pick up and eat), or teeth model (but she still has to grow many more)
Who sleeps most? No one - we are all still working on improving her day and night sleep...sigh
Most endearing qualities: heartwarming smile, tenaciousness, cuddliness
Favourite food: multigrain cereal, yogurt, cheese, bananas, beef stroganoff (the grown-up kind)
Marital status: single, but flirting with all the boys
What’s next? Standing, walking, running - and then next week, hopefully she will say "dada"
