Nine Months Old

Well, Kiera has almost outgrown her rug! It's so much fun to look back at how little she was in each previous month's picture on the rug.

But (no pun intended) you can see that it's much harder to get her to lay still for her monthly picture. This is how some of the pics turn out now as she quickly flips over and crawls away.

Max doesn't always allow Kiera to lay so close to him. We were surprised to see them get so entwined. She was having fun playing with Dad and Max on the floor.

Kiera's recent milestones:

- pulls up on everything and cruises around the furniture
- continues to eat well - everything we've fed her without complaint. She has learned to feed herself puffs and loves them
- went for her first swing ride at the park
- learned to clap :)
- moved from the infant room at daycare to the waddler room
- the cutest thing she has been doing lately...tilting her head to the side (ear to shoulder) and smiling. Seriously, how do babies and dogs know when they look adorable? It's like she is posing. When we imitate her she tilts her head to the other side and holds it there. We call it her "so cute" look.
