Esther 9 months

Our joyful little Esther is 9 months old!

(As of yesterday)

• She is crawling!! And also pulling herself up to standing. And she gets into everything!
• She takes two naps a day, varying from 30 minutes to 2 hours...depending on whether we are home (and how quiet it is at home). She continues to roll with the punches, though, with our varied day-to-day schedule. 
• Continues to be a champion eater, eating 3 meals a day now, and slowly expanding her palate. She's pretty open to eating anything we've tried so far :)
• Has two teeth, with at least four more on their way in!
• She will intermittently wave hello/good-bye or imitate clapping and "so big".
• She's not terribly chatty (and has all but stopped saying "dada"), but she sings! So sweet.
• She is very social and happy to be held by most anyone, but she is still a mama's girl. She loves playing with other kids, most especially Jonah and Cora. 
• She is Super ticklish - and she has the very Best giggle :)
