Norah turned 9 months old on November 5th! She had A LOT of firsts this month and is now extremely mobile. Norah has figured out how to crawl on all fours!! She is using her army crawl less and less, I would say she is about 50/50 right now in terms of crawling on all fours vs. using her army crawl. If she wants to go really fast, she will usually drop to her army crawl because she is faster at that then being on all fours still. Norah also has become very good at going from sitting to being on all fours. She rarely goes to her belly from sitting now. Also, at the very end of the month, she has figured out how to go from being on all fours to sitting. She has only done this a couple of times, so she isn't great at it yet, but occasionally I have seen her on her belly, left the room and come back and she is sitting up, so I'm guessing she has figured it out. :) Lastly, Norah figured out how to pull herself up to standing!! Our TV is currently on a coffee table, and it's fairly low to the ground. One evening before dinner I saw her crawling towards it. Then I watched as she put her hand up on it and pulled herself up to standing! I set her down and then she did it again...and again...and again! She is now seen pulling herself up on other things like our chairs, etc. The only problem is she hasn't figured out how to get down without crashing, so it has caused for a few wipe outs here and there. Or, she will start whining so someone will come and help her get down. :)
In terms of eating, this month Norah started eating some finger food! I am always excited when we start some finger food, because that means that she can feed herself and I can eat while she does instead of me feeding her the whole meal. :) Norah has also tried a couple of new foods, cheese and yogurt, both of which she really likes.
Norah also got her first two teeth this past month. Her first tooth, one of the bottom middle ones, popped through on October 14th and the other bottom middle one came through about a week later.
Norah had her 9 month check-up and she weighed in at 17 lbs 8 oz (25%), was 27 1/2 inches long (50%), and has a head circumference of 17 1/2 inches (50%). So, she's long and skinny, just like her brother! :) Her weighed dropped from the 50th percentile to the 25th between her 6 month and 9 month check-up, I'm sure because she's started moving! :)
Here are some pictures of Norah from her 9th month of life!
