Valerie is 9 months old!

Valerie had her 9 month well-child check up recently. The doctor says she's doing great!
Here are her stats:
29 1/4 inches long (95%+)
15lbs, 12 oz (5%) aka Skinny-Mini

She eats just about whatever we do now. She loves cheese and yogurt, as well as any kind of meat! She'll eat toast as though its her last meal and much prefers to feed herself rather than be fed from a spoon (unless its yummy homemade soup like Butternut Squash or Split Pea & Ham).

She can now pull herself up to standing, though she only does this in her crib. :) I think she's quite proud of herself! She loves her playroom (technically suppose to be a dining room, but it works best as a playroom right now!).
But sometimes, when I'm cooking in the kitchen, she comes crawling through the doorway and across the hardwood, then she sits by my feet and pulls on my pant leg. I think she just wants to be involved in the cooking... mainly to be the "taste-tester," I think! She is a pretty silly girl and is crawling everywhere. Watch the video below to see how she gets down the little step from the playroom to the front living room!
