Everyone keeps saying that I am such a 'tank' but I'm really not. I think I just look big because I'm a bit short (thanks mom) and my belly doesn't have anywhere to go but out :) Dr. Paulson gave me a clean bill of health and I got the award for the 'best personality' from the nurses. I like to smile at everyone- hey, I know I'm cute!
At 9 months old, I am starting to eat with my fingers. Eating is my absolute favorite pastime. I used to love baby food, but now that I have been exposed to 'real food' such as green beans, carrots, stuffing, bread, etc. I prefer that instead. I am also an active little bugger (I learn a lot from Noah). I have been pulling myself up on furniture for about a month now, can walk all around furniture and with my walker, and climb up the stairs. I have started getting shy around strangers, and cling on tightly to mommy and daddy until I get used to a new person (which doesn't take long). As mentioned before, I smile at everything and everyone. I am an extremely happy baby.
One challenging thing that I have been dealing with is eczema and allergies over the past few months. We have been to several doctors, allergists, dermatologists, and what we found out is that I have extreme eczema and am allergic to peanuts, eggs, and dogs. We are starting to get it under control, but for now I have to be very careful otherwise my skin flares up again and I get very itchy. This of course doesn't keep me from smiling :)
