Stella loving her jumpy toy!

Stella is 9 months old!! and couple days past. :) She had her 9 month check up and everythig is looking great. Weighing in at 17 1/2 lbs and 27 1/2 inches long! SHe's my lengthy peanut! At this stage she is starting to eat some regular food besides the baby stuff. She can stand up to 5 seconds. Not always consistantly but sometimes. It's a good start. She's not crawling but she has decided that scooting gets her around just fine. She has 2 teeth on the bottom of her mouth. She has just got the concept of drinking out of a straw. It's pretty funny to watch her get some juice that way. It's a surprise to her everytime she does it. She can wave bye bye to her mommy and daddy pretty good now. She understands her name and when it's called. She likes to scoot down backwards off our bed and onto the ground. (As long as we are there to catch her) Da da is still her favorite thing to say and sometimes she will say Ba ba no mama yet but that's ok. :) We are getting ready to take our first road trip with her to WA. We are excited and nervous to see how she will do.

We are headed to WA to celebrate our parents 40th wedding anniversiry. I will post pics when we get back!
