9 months

Time is flying by, and I can hardly believe my baby is 9 months old. She is still growing like a weed, and learning new things all the time.

She gets around these days by doing a weird scoot/roll/sit up to change direction/scoot/roll maneuver. Thankfully, she doesn't move too fast, but still can get around nicely. You can see the almost perpetual look of panic on Cliffee's face. She still doesn't know how to deal with being "attacked" by a baby. Molly loves it, though.

Rayne is really trying to walk. She pulls herself up and walks/cruises with help very well. We gave her a push/ride on toy for her 9 month b-day and let her loose. She seems to like the riding part better than the walking part, though!

Rayne is eating finger foods (another thing Molly loves) and we are starting to use a cup for milk now, rather than for just water. While we are not necessarily going vegetarian with her, she doesn't eat meat very much. Not that she doesn't like it. When we go out to eat, we usually try to get her something from the menu, like an egg or some potatoes. She like to eat what we eat.

Rayne is now only at daycare for 2 days a week, Grandma Sue watches her the other 3 days. They get along nicely, and it's great for Rayne to be at home more, although we will add another day at school as she starts walking and talking so she can play with people her own age more.
