So big!

Today, Chloe is 9 months old! I cant believe how big she is getting! She's crawling everywhere and is very fast doing it. She's also doing what the dr called a "bear" crawl where she will walk around on her hands and feet. Totally adorable! Cracks me up. She loves playing and talks to herself and us all the time. Even the dog. She likes to make a noise and have you copy her but doesnt understand that the dog cant do that. She does enjoy playing with the dog though and the dog likes playing with her. She loves her bath time! If you are holding her, put her down when the water turns on or she will be unhappy! The minute Jake gets the water going, Chloe starts crawling to the bathroom and giggling while doing it. She loves her bath! She's also learned that she can stand in the bath tub by using the side to pull herself up. Its very cute but kinda scary too! We love just watching her. To see what she does and how she figures out how to do things. Children are so amazing. We have truly been blessed with our little girl! Here's her stats from her appt today!

weight: 19 lbs 14 oz, 69%
height: 28 1/4 in, 75%
head circumference: 17 3/4 in, 81%

She had her blood drawn today so they could test her iron levels. They asked if we wanted to do a finger poke or a vein. Jake said finger thinking that was easier. Then we found out just how much blood they needed. We decided to do the vein. Chloe did so well! They stuck the needle in her arm and she didnt cry at all. In fact I think she started crying when they took the needle out and I think it was mostly cause she was tired of being restricted! She quit crying right away and was her happy talking self before we even left the room. I cant believehow well she did! Our baby girl is growing up!

Ugh! I do NOT want to do that. I hate needles. Our appointment is next Thursday.
