Lane 9 Months

 Rolling over to escape

 Refusing to look at the camera

 Always climbing on something

 Big blue eyes

 Cruising

 Happy girl

 "So big"

 2 bottom teeth

Waving and saying "HIIIIII"

The little bruiser

Lane was 9 months old on January 19th (yes, I am posting this a week before she is 10 months)!  Her posed picture was impossible this month- she is a monkey on the move.  She was 17lb, 14 oz at her checkup and is definitely our chunkiest baby.  She has not met a food she doesn't like, she even ate sauerkraut on New Years Day and yelled at me because I wasn't feeding her fast enough!  She had her first sick visit this month with periorbital cellulitis.  It freaked me and Brian out, but other than looking like a bruiser, it didn't bother Lane a bit.  Lane cruises and climbs all over and has taken a step here and there.  She even climbed the steps on her own one day.  We have had an occasional bout of separation/stranger anxiety, but she usually gets over it really quickly.  She says "Hi" in this adorable high-pitched squeal, "Ah oh" (=uh oh), "Buby" (=baby).
