3/4

Oohhhh my sweet preciousness has been with us for 9 months now.  Nine months!!!

Her bold personality is beginning to shine through.  It appears we've got another spunky one in our hands!!!   Annie smiles and her whole face lights up.  It's like her little eyes are dancing with excitement. 

The last month has brought on some big changes.  She's crawling!!!!   No more rolling like a bowling ball. It's the real deal, and she's fast too!!  As if crawling weren't enough, she's also pulling up on things.  Annie likes to be into everything.  

We go to the doctor for all of our measurements next week:

Weight: (11/17) was 19.9 lbs and (11/30) 19.10 lbs. = 66th percentile

Height: 27 in. = 25th percentile

Head circumference: 45 cm = 75th percentile

I'll fill these in after her check-up

Luvs: size 4

Clothes: size 9-12 months

Shoes: size 3

Teeth: 4.  Two on top and two on bottom

Naps: 2

Annie hates getting dressed.  It's really really ticks her off.  The shirt part makes her angry and she tries to kick her pants off.  It's a great workout for me.  

She's jabbering.  Her best word is "Momma"!!!!!   She is also known to say "bubba" and "dada". From all accounts, she's going to follow in the brothers' footsteps in the talking department.

Annie got her first double ear infection in early October.  Since then we've battled two more, for a total of three double ear infections.  She's currently on a daily dose of amoxicillin for about 6 weeks in hopes that it will keep tubes out of her future.

While she was battling the ear infections she slept in her rock n play sleeper.  Now we are struggling with the transition back to her bed.  She often sits up (see video monitor) and yells for me!

And we thank God for this perfect surprise and wonderful addition to our family!
