Rachel is 9 months old today!
With the risk of sounding like a broken record, Rache has once again astounded me with how much she has advanced in only a month's time.
She now reaches to be picked up, waves at herself in the mirror, and if you're lucky, maybe at you, too. She has mastered the crawling this month and is super speedy now, and has even pulled herself up on various furniture a few times. Most notably, these last two accomplishments have brought new levels of excitement to playing the 'Crocodile Game' (Laura and I are Peter Pan and Captain Hook, taking refuge on the bed from the mean crocodile). One day Laura took a turn being the crocodile and Rachel took her part of shrieking on the bed to get away very seriously. So. Stinking. Cute.
She has made advancements in her communication this month, too, seemingly using 'mama' and 'dada' in context, as well as shaking her head 'no' when refusing food a few times, too. While most of the time Rachel is good-spirited, she was sick (and grumpy) for a little while this past month, and definitely made her little temper known when she didn't get what she wanted. She is certainly strong-willed and has even started refusing some food in hopes of being offered something better!
One of my favourite things she does that has made a reappearance this month is her little head-bobble dance.
