3/4 of a Year

I can't believe how fast 9 months has gone by. Addison has changed so much and it's so fun to see her grow. She had her 9 month check up yesterday and the doctor said she looks good! She is 27 3/4" long (55th percentile) and weighs 15 lb 11.5 oz (5th percentile). We knew she wouldn't weigh much since it just seemed she only got taller. We found Chunny's growth stats when he was a baby and she's pretty much following along with him :) I've been trying to take Addison's 9 month pictures, but it's just not working out so well. Either the weather is gloomy so I can't get good lighting for the pictures, or she just isn't in the mood to sit still long enough for me to take a couple good pictures (which is becoming a normal thing now). This is how the first photo shoot turned out. I'm hoping to get better ones soon!and at 9 months Addison...

-loves grahm crackers. So much that she would prefer them over baby food any time.
-went on her first camping trip. It went really well and Addison did better than I thought she would. The worst part was trying to get back to normal once we got home. Although she had a little play area to crawl around in, she didn't like being caged in all the time, so she ended up getting held a lot. So, the first couple days back home were rough for her because she didn't ever want to be set down.
-wears 9 month size clothing...but, she also fits into 0 - 3 month shorts. She'd probably wear smaller than 9 month pants, but they're the only ones that are long enough.
-likes to yell and talk really loud. Sometimes she makes sounds moving her tongue all around in her mouth, and other times she just yells in excitement :)
-dances to music and when she gets excited. The moment she hears music she'll bounce for a couple seconds and then she's done. It's pretty cute!
-has decided that now she doesn't like any vegetable except sweet potatoes. She will sometimes eat "grown-up" vegetables, but not always. She does, however, like any kind of fruit. Sometimes we can trick her into eating vegetables by mixing it in her fruit or some yogurt.
-loves taking rides in the stroller. She'll start "dancing" the moment you set her in it.

I'll post some more pictures soon from our camping trip and others taken in the past month!
