wounded soldier army crawl


A glimpse of what she will look like with top teeth....
(meltaway puff perfectly positioned!)


Mabel had her 9 month check up on Monday:
She weighs 19.10 lbs (70th percentile) and is 29.5 inches long! (95th percentile)
Long and lean just like her daddy.

I am trying to imagine how her little smile will look when she gets her top teeth. The doctor took a peek in her mouth and said she has FOUR top teeth about to break through, along with one more on the bottom that we are starting to get a glimpse of.

Mabel is at such a fun stage right now. She stops what she is doing when she hears the garbage truck and we run to the window to see it, she insists on finger foods with most meals (pasta, peas, and blueberries are her favorites), she is a bookworm and loves dumping them all over the floor too, she claps when we sing patty cake and is starting to wave hi and bye, she opens her mouth when we giver her "kisses", she rocks her body back and forth when she hears music, and you know those metal springy door stops? best babysitter ever.

Here is her newest skill:
We call it the wounded soldier army crawl:

I can't believe how big she is getting! That crawl hilarious! I've seen the army crawl, but never the wounded army crawl. Too cute! What a fun age!

That is sooooo funny!!!! Don't worry, pretty soon she will get the hang of it and you will be WISHING she was still doing the SLOW crawl like the wounded soldier! GO, Mabel, GO!!!
