finally better

thank goodness amelia is finally feeling like herself again. she had her 9 month appt. on tuesday, and is 16.14lbs and 27 inches long! she gained 2 pounds since her 6 month appt. and grew 2 1/4 inches. dr. tam said she still had some fluid in her ears from her ear infection, so he is going to see her again on feb. 2nd. after that, her next "well" visit will be for her 1 year check up! i cannot believe that she is already 9 months old!! hasn't quite mastered the crawling thing, but she gets around just fine with what she is doing. she's starting to pull herself up, so we've finally had to start putting up the side of the crib. she really, really wants to stand by herself, but she's not quite there....but she tries :)
she's still not sleeping through the night, and we just don't know what else to try. thank goodness that when she does get up, it's not for very long and she usually goes right back to sleep. right now she loves animal crackers and whatever other kinds of crackers and "cookies" her cousin rylie feeds her during the day at the greenhouse. she's working on getting used to using a sippy cup for water and juice. she much rather play with it and chew on the spout, but we're working on it. i guess that's all for now, i'm tired and i'm going to bed :)
