9 Months

 

9 months? No way! Nora is 3/4 of her way to a year, crawling everywhere, sporting 3.5 teeth (two bottoms, 1.5 top) and loving summer. She's a true beach babe, happily crawling around on the sand and enjoying the surf, the pool, and the breeze. She's babbling more (ma-ma, da-da, ba, and some other consonant sounds here and there). She's also displaying some new, consistent "tricks": Clapping, playing the "How Big?" game, and throwing her arms up when we say "Touchdown!" (she's ready for football season). She is very interested in pulling herself up, though hasn't quite mastered that move (yay...). Still doing pretty darn good in the sleep department, too, making for an all-around dream baby!
