Maria's nine-month birthday has already come and gone and it seems like SO much has changed in just one month! After her check-up yesterday, she is measuring at 19lbs. 7oz. and 27.25 inches long. She is average according to the doctor, but we think she's extraordinary! Her squishy, little body is so fun to snuggle; the pudginess too adorable to ignore. Lately she is crawling like mad all over the house. She is starting to follow us when we move from room to room and getting into all kinds of things. Her favorite "no-no" are cords. I'm not sure what makes them so interesting, but she will seek them out time and time again. If crawling wasn't enough, now she is pulling up everywhere and starting to cruise along the furniture. I'm pretty sure that she'll be walking by 10 months! Wow - are we ready for that??! Needless to say, we are having the time of our life with this precious girl and can't wait to see what she does next!
