9 months and Monsters *snarl*

Avery turned 9 months on November 20th. She loves to clap her hands and laugh. She says mum-mum-mum in a low voice and da-da-da in a really high pitch voice. She pulls herself up to a stand really well, especially loves to use my legs. And she is starting to walk while holding onto things and even enjoys the risk of letting go to see if she can stand on her own - which only lasts a few seconds at the moment. She loves to eat Banana Nut Cheerios, teething biscuits, bread, and can't wait to eat "big people" food but we are taking things slow because of her food allergies. We trialed dairy again by switching formula to Enfamil and she has done really well. But any time she breaks out in any rash, eczema, etc., we switch back to Nutramigen until we know for sure what she is breaking out to. She loves to play Monsters. She crawls all the way up the stairs and once she's reached the top she sits and smiles with a "look what I did" face. Then Phill or I being the monster, leap at her and growl and she laughs in hysterics, face plants as she tries to quickly go from sitting to crawling, and then scurries away into one of the bedrooms. It's become a daily game, but we all love it.
