9 months and still going strong!

Meagan had her 9 month check up this past week - hard to believe she is that old (to Mom and Dad at least). The check up went well. Here are the measurements: 20 pounds 5 ozs., 27 1/2 inches long. Both measurements put her in the same ballpark with other 9 month olds. Her head measurement was up in the 95th percentile - baby has a big melon! That extra protection up there has served her well during her exploration - perhaps Santa can bring her a crash helmet! Meagan has a pretty regular cycle now when she is free. Crawl around until she sees something she can use to pull herself up, stand up and furniture walk for a bit, let go and stand on her own for 2-20 seconds, fall down and cry for 2-20 seconds, repeat cycle. This will continue for as long as Mom and Dad will allow. Meagan is also in active pursuit mode when Lucy is in sight - Lucy has been a good sport so far, but Meagan has not really figured out how to tug her ear yet. Meagan now has 4 teeth (2 up, 2 down) and still likes to try and eat everything in site (not so nice on the fingers). She is experimenting with mom and dad food now but so far prefers the pulverized stuff. Meagan and the family are looking forward to Christmas and the snow here has put us all in the mood.
