Chloe always has been an early riser. If we get to sleep past 6:30am these days, then we are sleeping in! But, this week, Chloe has been sleeping until 8am and sometimes we'll even wake her up because she's sleeping past 8. She also has been taking much longer naps during the day. She must be growing.

At her 9 month check up, Chloe weighed in at 19lb 3oz (60%), length at 27.5in (50%), and had a head circumference of 44cm (50%). There were no vaccinations at this visit, just a little prick on her big toe to check her hemoglobin levels.

Chloe loves to smile, giggle, and touch people's faces. She is such a happy baby. She does like to scream a lot though, especially towards the late afternoon/night time as her way of communicating, which hurts our ears.

Chloe has now realized that the camera has bright flashes and so she closes her eyes like this as soon as she spots the camera. She just started to do it this week.

Here is a video clip from the Rockies game. You can see that she keeps closing her eyes in anticipation of the flash from the camera.



There is the smile that mommy was looking for...


Here she goes again with the closing of her eyes.

Chloe usually just stands and plays around this excer-saucer, but this week, she actually started to walk around it using the chair on wheels as a walker.




It was very hard to get her to even look at the camera for her nine month old picture. The flash must be really bright to her. She is so silly.


Happy 9 months, Chloe!!

Chloe still loves to crawl around everywhere, loves to stand and walk along furniture. We are now waiting for that day when she takes her first step.

Chloe loves to watch what the dogs are doing. Here is Gator begging for food and Chloe is watching intently.

Now, we can't put these pretty headbands on her for more than few seconds, because she takes them right off.

Here are some video clips of Chloe playing.

Here is Chloe's and one of her classic smiles! Love those squinty eyes!!!

Have we shown Chloe's new sleeping arrangement in the blog yet? This is where Chloe sleeps. This used to be our guest room. Can you spot Chloe? This is how we found her in the morning.

Here is the close up photo of Chloe. She has snuggled up next to Sleepy the dwarf. She sleeps very well in this room for about 11 to 12 hours. Once in awhile, we'll find her on the floor and not on the mattress. We got a good laugh in at this one.

I hope you have enjoyed the blog!

Developmentally, there isn't much change this week. Chloe still babbles by herself, crawls around everywhere, and has mastered standing by herself.

We tried Baby Einstein videos this week, and Chloe is glued to the screen while the video is on. I am still iffy about Chloe watching TV, but this was too cute seeing her watching this video. We turn it on when we need to eat dinner so that we don't have to scarf down our food.

This is Chloe and our neighbor friend, Blake. We all went out to eat together. Look at them sitting side by side at the table. So cute!

They are having fun eating their own food. Blake is two and a half months older than Chloe and she is showing Chloe how she can eat blueberries and pizza crust.

The next day, Blake came over for a play date. Look at them, they made a train!

Here is Chloe wondering how she can get to the other side of the gate.

Thanks for the visit!
