Emerson Is 9 Months!

Emerson is now 9 months, so sad that in a short three months my baby will already be 1! We had her well baby check up yesterday and she is coming in at a healthy 19lbs 9oz. and is nearly 30in. long. She is still off the chart for her height, which the Dr. said is unusual for her not to be topping off at this point. What was she trying to tell me, that we might have an amazon child on our hands?? It is funny to see her in her carseat with her legs halfway up the back of the seat. Either way, our little one is growing and continuing to bring us so much enjoyment and happiness each day. She has been on the move now for quite awhile and is extremely fast at getting wherever it is she wants to go. She cruises along all the furniture in search for anything and everything that she shouldn't be getting into. She is a great eater and definitely prefers finger foods to baby food. Her favorites are black beans, kiwi, bananas, quesadillas and yogurt. She still loves to follow her sissy around and Rilyn can still get her to laugh the most. There are only two teeth on the bottom, but we can see four on the top that are coming in. On most nights she goes to bed by 8pm and wakes around 5am for a quick snack before snoozing again for another hour. Her smile continues to melt our hearts and more than anything we wish we could just slow down how quickly she is growing.
This is typically what I see when I walk into her room to get her :)
