9months!!

This is a little late as she's been 9 months for a couple of weeks, but here are a few fun little facts about what Ally is up to. She doesn't have another checkup at the doctor until 12mo. but doing the weigh me then weigh her and I together thing, she weighs in at 17 lbs even. She can sit on the scale and it says the same thing so I'm thinking she is in that ball park. I'm going to ask if I can get her weighed when we go in for flu shots soon, so we'll know for sure then. She is still very contemplative and quiet for the most part. She gets very excited when she sees people she knows but it's only a second and then she's content to sit quietly. Totally different than her sister. She can say dada, (which is totally unfair but really cute), nana, and is now starting to say mama. She can also clap her hands and wave "hi" and "bye bye". And her FAVORITE thing to do, and this seems to be a hit for both girls, is look in the mirror at herself. She waves, claps and giggles. It's so cute! But I don't think she understands whose holding her when she looks in the mirror. She waves and smiles, then turns and stares at me, then the mirror again, then me. I think she's trying to figure out who that person is that looks just like her mommy and is holding a cute baby. It's very funny.
Ally just recovered from her first stomach flu, very fun for me. It's always hard when they are this age. But after 2-3 days, she is much better.
And a quick note on Em, her new friend Billy is now discovered to be her son and his brother is Mickey Mouse. We find out new things about the mysterious Billy all the time!
