We just had Maizelyn's nine month check up, and I thought now would be a good time to get everyone up to speed on what's been going on with Maizelyn. She is growing up way to fast, but this journey has been really enjoyable. At her nine month check up she weighed in at 17 lbs 2 oz and is 28 inches long. She is a long skinny baby but we do feed her a lot.
She is sleeping through the night. She can now fall asleep on her own but sometimes she likes
Daddy to rock her and whistle to her before bed. She is drinking from a sippy cup and feeding some food to herself. She babbles a lot. She likes to say yeah, dada, mama and some other jibberish that we don't quite understand. She can wave bye bye if you hold up her arm and she giggles a lot when you tickle her. Around 7 1/2 months Mommy and Grandma Gross started taking Maizelyn to storytime at the library once a week. We don't always get there because of work or even now because of the price of gas, but when we do she loves it. We sing songs, read stories and play with other kids. The biggest milestone has been crawling. Just a week ago Maizelyn started crawling. She doesn't have any interest in staying in one place and playing with her toys. She wants to explore everything. She loves to chase after the cat. We constantly have to keep an eye on her at all times.
Our baby is growing up way to fast! Here are a few photos from the past three months.
Here is the family at the Christmas Eve service.

Andy was working from home and Maizelyn fell asleep in her jumperoo. She wore herself out!
She loves to roll around. She has always been on the go since she started out in my tummy.
She loves to pull all her toys out of her basket. Since she started crawling she really hasn't had much interest in her toys. There are to many other things to discover...things we would rather she not play with. :)
Maizelyn loved riding the train at Taylor's first birthday party.
She wanted to help open presents. At one point she helped Taylor open one of her presents. More like she wanted to eat the wrapping paper.
Here is Grandma Gross and Maizelyn watching the 2011 Snowdown parade.
Grandma and Grandpa Vessel came to visit during Snowdown. Here she is with both her Grandmas.

Mommy loves to shop and Maizelyn is her best partner in crime.
Since she started crawling, the pack n' play has been the best to keep her out of the things that we don't want her in. She loves to chew on everything and I do mean everything. Here she is biting the sides.

The first video is of Maizelyn riding the train. She likes to copy noises that are made. When I run the vacuum or my blow dryer she tries to hum with the sound. The second video is her crawling.
