Mia is growing so fast! I can't believe she is already 9 months! Before we know it we'll be celebrating her birthday. We were anxiously awaiting her 9 month doctors appointment to get her measurements. Drum roll please... height 27 1/2 inches - 50% and weight 17 1/2 lbs - 25%! It's so surprising to me because she seems so tall but I guess it's because she is so skinny. When I look at other babies her age they are so rolly polly but not Mia. Maybe I need to work on fattening her up. Here are a few tidbits about our Mimi. She is a little comedian. She loves to make us laugh by making funny faces or laughing if we laugh. She is FINALLY sleeping well and I feel like I have somewhat of a life now. Her favorite food seems to be apples and chicken (yes that is a combination they make,gross) and I finally got her to drink out of a sippy cup. She loves stuffed animals and her two faves right now are a lamb, Lambert, from her Aunt Kim and Uncle Lee and an elephant, Horton, from her Grandma and Grandpa Rasmussen. One kind of interesting thing she can do is twist her tongue. As far as I can tell it can only twist one way. It is so funny to watch her do it because I've never seen a baby do that before. I'll have to get a picture of it soon. She is crawling and loves picking stuff up and shaking it, no matter what it is. She is a hoot and makes life worth living!
