Here is a picture of Audrey at 9 months
She is crawling like crazy and wants to get into everything that she knows she's not supposed to. She really wants nothing to do with all the fabulous toys that she recently got for Christmas, she just wants to explore the world now that she has the means. She pulls herself up to things very easily now and likes to think she is bigger than she is when it comes to bridging the gap from one piece of furniture to the other which will usually follow by a face plant. Her favorite places to crawl and pull herself up to right now are the steps leading up to my bath tub, the stairway going downstairs or any fireplace hearth that is in her site.
We think she may be saying "dadda". Well, we know she says it, we just can't tell if that is just one of the words she babbles. She does seem to however understand when I say "dadda", to look for him, so who knows. She has been saying that for quite some time now and my sister says that Kendell said "hi" to her while babysitting and without hesitation followed with a "hi" back to Kendell.
Audrey now gives kisses. About 2 weeks ago Jen just asked her for kisses and Audrey leaned forward with open mouth and placed one on her face. She then proceeded to do it over and over as the family mauled her for kisses. I just love when I get these moments when I pick her up and squeeze her and unexpectedly without me asking for one, she plants a big kiss on me!
She has also decided that she wants to go back to waving now. Every morning when I get her out of bed, we start heading down the hall and she just waves and waves like she is Princess Diana greeting her public.
Good news, she will now hold her bottle. You have to still place her hands on it, but by golly she will hold it.
I saved the best for last. Audrey has decided to go through the terrible two's already. I know all of my family members that read this are thinking, oh that sweet Audrey that never cries? Yes, I'm talking about that same Audrey . She puts on quite the act for the family most of the time, for me, she tends to give a little attitude to, shocking, I know. If I pick her up from somewhere she wants to get to, she starts flopping around like a fish out of water, but a fish that screams or yells out. She has also done the, I'm just gonna throw my head back along with my body and hope you catch it move. Now whenever I change her diaper, put her into her car seat, high chair, walker or jumper, she will now start to cry. As I was feeding her this morning I was thinking to myself, where has she learned this? She doesn't run with a bad crowd yet that would be setting a bad example for her. I tell her when she does it, that it's not ok, and we don't act like that. (you can never be to young to learn right from wrong, right)? I'm being hopeful in thinking that she will just get it out of her system a little earlier than normal, haha, I know.
None the less, we still love our baby girl, attitude or not. She is so much entertainment and we couldn't imagine our lives without her.

She is seriously a doll! Have I said that before? :) I can't believe she is already 9 months! How come pregnancy doesn't go that fast?
