{Celebrate} 9 months!

Yikes, it's already July 3rd! Which means my little baby girl is now 9 months old. It's already been a couple of weeks since I have posted any images or information about her and it's like she's an entirely different person in such a short period of time. Here are just a few of her most recent behaviors...

* She is a mover and a shaker. We have to set up barricades now in the living room to keep her confined.
* Although she is crawling, she would much rather stand and walk the perimeter of the room along the furniture.
* This little girl can throw a fit! It's so crazy how she went from being a sweet little thing that could do no wrong. Now she'll throw herself on the ground and bang her legs and arms in a fit of rage. Wha-aaat? Seriously? Already?
* Her favorite toys are MY favorite toys. My iPhone. My laptop. The remote control.
* She shakes her head and waves her pointer finger when we say "No No No". It's so funny. (But we really shouldn't laugh b/c I'm not sure if she understands NO yet)
* She is still "HOO-ing"! If you've met her, you know exactly what I mean.
* She absolutely loves the water. She has always loved her bath but with summer here, she has been swimming in the pool and the bay. Both of which were COLD! She was not phased in the least by the temperatures. I'm thinking she takes after her daddy in this sense.
* She is definitely my little girl when it comes to sleeping these days. She has slept in until 9 or 10 am the past couple of days. Good girl!
* Oh ya!!! She is officially OVER the bink (aka pacifier). She decided all on her own that she had no interest in it whatsoever this past month. I gave it to her once, like any other day, and she THREW it. And continued to throw it any time I gave it to her after that. I told you she had a mind of her own!
