9 months

My sweet pea.
Joe accompanying Maia in watching Baby Einstein. It's Maia's favorite...not so much Joe's.

Can you believe that she's not even mad in this picture? That's just one of her many facial expressions.
Maia waving with her big paw.

Maia had her 9 month appt. on 2/20/2009 (exactly 9 months). She has moved up in her stats:

Weight: 19 lbs. 5 oz. (60%)
Height: 29 3/4" (> 97%) yes, that's what the dr. wrote... >97%
Head Circumference: 17 3/4" (80%)

She's still pretty thin but getting really tall. She has also done some new things:

She knows and can recreate the sound of a duck.
She refuses to eat any type of baby food. She is all table food. (There goes convenience for me.)
She throws any extra food onto the floor when she's done eating. I think it's her way of clearing off the table (or high chair). Not so cute.
She can manage to get into cupboards even with a 10-lbs. bag of rice holding the door closed.
She can take a step or two unassisted.
She can understand some words in Spanish and react to them.
She likes to play the "up/down" or "arriba/abajo" game. I say either up, down, arriba, or abajo and she will put her hands above her head or down by her tummy. She thinks it's funny when I tickle her when her hands are up.

Here are a couple videos of Maia doing some stuff. Joe is the best dad, as you can tell with the second video. He loves playing with Maia in the mornings and she LOVES being with her dad. He's so fun and entertaining.

Em! Those videos are so precious. Joe cracks me up. I just saw the new grandma video and I laugh every time I see Joe being the chicken boy or whatever he is. Haha! Maia is seriously so cute. It's been way too longs since we've seen you guys. Hopefully we will be able to make it out to Cali soon. Love ya and miss ya!
