9 months

So technically Elle is 9 1/2 months right now but I'm a little behind on blogging. Of course we had to get some pics taken and I just couldn't resist buying a ton of them to bring home (those picture places know just how to hook you). Anyway Elle is growing in leaps and bounds weighing in at 15lbs 12 oz and 26 1/2 in long at her 9 month checkup. Really she's on the small side for her age but to me she's getting bigger by the minute.

Elle recently decided to surprise me by suddenly crawling after our dog Wrigley boy was I not ready for this milestone. Elle is into absolutely everything days and she espcially seems interested in things that she shouldn't have most of all the dog food and water. It has been nice though since Elle can just crawl over to a certain toy she wants or instead of her whining for me to pick her up she just crawls over to me and puts her arms up.

Another milestone that Elle has reached is that she has learned how to feed herself and is now eating a lot of "big people food" as we call it. Unfortunately Elle is taking after her father in the food area. She is already becoming a very picky eater and already seems to know about pizza and ice cream thanks to good old dad. So now of course anytime we have ice cream we know we might as well just put in one more scoop for Elle because if she sees it then you better just count on sharing. She's so cute though she gets her way pretty easily.

We've been pretty busy with life outside of Elle lately too. We finally found a new bigger house and are very excited to be moving very soon!! Finally Elle will have a huge yard to play in and a brand new bedroom and playroom!! I'm personally very excited about the playroom myself!

So anyway it's time to go pack but just wanted to fill everyone in on everything going on with Elle!! Here are a few of her 9 month pics!
