Day 43: Nine Months!

It's hard to believe, but today Sivan is nine months old.  We are rounding third base on our way to that big one year mark.  Amazing.  I realize I didn't do this last month with Sivan at eight months, but here is Sivan at nine months:

• has six teeth (!!!) - two on top, four on the bottom
• loves all food, especially bananas and sweet potatoes
• is starting to crawl - she hasn't quite figured out that crawling will get her places - once she figures this out, she's going to be on her way
• loves her big sister and often peeks around looking for her
• wears 12 month or 12-18 month clothing
• super happy - she doesn't laugh much, but she is such a happy baby, always smiling at everyone around her

This morning's photo shoot was... interesting.  Thought I would let the pictures tell the story.

Sitting pretty.... for now...

Oooh!  What's over there?!

What?? I wasn't doing anything!

Michal wanted to get in on the action.  Sivan wasn't thrilled.

This isn't such an unusual occurrence.  Usually Michal garners more smiles from Sivan, but it I do find myself saying, "What is Sivan telling you with her crying right now, Michal?" quite often.
