ZOEY'S 9 MONTH PICS

THESE ARE ZOEY'S 9 MONTH PICS. NOW SHE IS 10 MONTHS AND THAT YEAR BIRTHDAY WILL BE HERE BEFORE WE KNOW IT. AT HER 9 MONTH CHECK UP SHE WAS 16# 10 OZ. AND SHE IS 27 1/2 INCHES LONG. SHE IS IN THE <10%>

HER FIRST TOOTH JUST POPPED THROUGH TODAY. SHE HAS BEEN CRAWLING SINCE THE END OF JUNE, AND SHE IS CRUISING THE FURNITURE LIKE IT'S NOTHING. SHE RUNS IN HER WALKER ACROSS THE LIVINGROOM. WHEN SHE GETS TO THE OTHER SIDE SHE PICKS UP HER FEET AND LIFTS HER ARMS IN THE AIR. SHE SLAMS INTO THE CHAIR AND BOUNCES BACK, LAUGHS AND DOES IT AGAIN. IT IS HILARIOUS. I WILL GET IT ON VIDEO ONE OF THESE TIMES. SHE SEEMS TO BE GETTING READY TO WALK. SHE HAS BEEN DOING A LOT OF STANDING ON HER OWN AND WALKING WITH ONLY ONE HAND ATTACHED TO ME. I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE MUCH LONGER.

I AM ENJOYING ALL THE CUDDLING RIGHT NOW. SHE REALLY WANTS HER MOMMY ALL THE TIME. I LOVE ALL THE LAUGHTER, AND THE "MOM!!!" WHEN SHE WANTS SOMETHING. I LOVE TO HEAR HER WAKE UP SAYING DADA DADA DADA. ESPECIALLY WHEN HE ISN'T HERE AND IS CALLING ON THE PHONE. AND I LOVE HER LITTLE BASHFUL SMILE WHEN SHE IS TRYING TO BE SNEEKY.

THE FIRST PICTURE AT THE TOP IS ZOEY'S BEST BUD EMMA. SHE USED TO SEE HER 3 TIMES A WEEK AT DAYCARE, BUT LUCKILY THIS IS MY BEST FRIENDS DAUGHTER AND THEY STILL SEE EACH OTHER OFTEN. ZOEY GETS SO EXCITED WHEN SHE SEES EMMA. EMMA CONSTANTLY TALKS ABOUT HER ZO. SHE WAKES UP TALKING ABOUT HER AND GOES TO BED TALKING ABOUT HER. I LOVE THAT THEY ARE SO CLOSE.LIKE ME AND HER MOM.
