Where the {WILD} Things Are

Our Chloe turned NINE months old and transformed into one WILD little lady! She is busy, busy, busy! She is crawling around like crazy. If we try to chase after her, she kicks it into high gear and just giggles. Chloe is climbing up on everything! She can stand on our mantle and open all of our cupboards. Her darling little smile features SEVEN sharp little teeth; she has been quite the biter for the past couple of days. Oh, how we love our wild little girl, so much!

Nine months has been a difficult milestone for me. It is starting to feel like my tiny baby days with Chloe are coming to an end. Chloe wants to feed herself, she rips her cute headbands off, she just has a mind of her own. She has been a little bundle of joy and life for longer than I was pregnant. I love watching her grown and learn so many new things, but I just simply cannot believe how quickly the time has flown by.

At her nine month doctor visit she weighed 19 pounds 6 ounces (50%) and was 29 inches (97%!!!) tall. Our great PA recommended feeding her whatever we eat; it's been a struggle. She went through a little phase where she would just pull all of her food out of her mouth, which caused her to gag and barf all over. Pleasant, right? I'm glad (fingers crossed:)!) that phase has passed. She has really liked Penne Noodles with Alfredo Sauce, grilled chicken and beans (weird, right?).

Chloe has the most happy, funny little personality. She is constantly giggling and smiling. She likes to "BONK" heads with everyone, and sometimes with the treadmill or the wall. She adores her Chopper dog and likes to go on long walks (soon to be jogs/runs ;)! ) in the jogging stroller. Chloe is getting a little mop of stick straight, light brown hair. It fits right in with her WILD side! I am just feeling so fortunate to be her mother! She is truly such a joy! We just love our crazy baby girl!

Oh Emily, she is SOOO cute! I just love that girl! She really is getting so big. I was just dying at how well she gets around when I was there the other night. She is so happy and sweet. How fun! Lets start running! Let me know when you want to go! We can even go when we get done with work and dinner. It stays light pretty late. Just let me know!

It is a sad day when they pull the bows out of their hair, but it is nice when they eat what we eat because it cuts down on work! I can't believe you would gag and throw up though, lets hope that is over! It is sad how big they get so fast! Love all the pictures!

Chloe is adorable. I love all your descriptions and she will too when she reads them when she is older. Isn't it amazing that she can do so many things and has that delightful personality? The pictures are all so cute and full of her personality. So glad you are enjoying little Chloe so much! I hope to see you and Chloe soon.
