9 months

emma taylor is 9 months! she scoots around on her bottom to get what she wants. she is getting curious and getting into what she can reach (anything on the coffee table, the book shelf, and computer cords). i feel that we will need to better "baby proof" our house soon. she is clapping like a champ. she waves bye-bye and plays peek-a-boo. she likes to figure things out (for example, i will hook her toys together with rings or put things inside of something else and she will detach them or take them out). she dropped her third nap right after she turned 8 months and sleeps well for the 2 she still takes. she is a great eater and loves cheerios, puffs, and crackers, but as far as other finger foods (i.e. fruits and vegies) we have been unsuccessful. she does have 8 teeth though so she should be able to eat lots of table food when she decides to get over the textures. all together she is a super happy baby, and we are blessed.
