April is such a happy baby! She's such a joy :)
We were at the doctor's today for her well-baby checkup and he thought she was doing great ... the only problem is that she's so small! At 9 months, she's just 14 pounds, 8 ounces. We will be going back in a few weeks for a weight check and in between now and then it's my goal to chunk her up a little bit! :)
April is saying 'ma', 'da', 'ba', and 'na' with the occasional other sound mixed in - like screams of excitement! :) She's always watching Chloe! April likes to sit and play with toys, but she's also starting to try to reach for things that are out of her grasp. She can fold herself in half reaching for something :) April likes to use things to pull up - the coffee table, a nearby chair, laundry baskets, mom's hands - anything she can find!
April's hair is just long enough to put a clip in, so she's been sporting one of those most the time. She has a bit of hair that's longer on the top ~ it's the hair that she was born with. The hair underneath is starting to get longer too....can't wait for ponytails!
April eats a variety of vegetables and fruits and we're slowly adding in some solids - peas have been rejected already! Some of her personality comes out while in the high-chair. She'll push my hand away if she doesn't want a bite of veggies :) She knows what she does and does not like!
Bathtime is still a favorite! She could stay in there forever I think! Another favorite of hers is puzzles! She likes to take out all the pieces ~ and she's really good :) Of course, that means I do a lot of puzzles during nap time :)
We love you April Hope ~ you've now been out of the womb for as long as you were in! Can't believe it was a year and a half ago that we found out you were coming. Seems like you've always been here :) You are a delight! :)
