Mercedes had her 9 month check-up today! She is 17lbs. 5oz. and 28 inches tall! She has been mobile for some time now, crawling all over! Shortly after she discovered her ability to crawl she began pulling herself up and now walks herself along the furniture and whatever else she can hang on to. She still only has her lower front two teeth, but she eats crackers and cookies. I give her peas, carrots and corn to feed herself, she's been eating that for some time now as well. I still nurse her when she wakes up and at night before bed and sometimes in between. She's a momma's girl big time! She doesn't like being alone, someone has to be within her sight and more often than not that someone has to be mom! Mercedes has a fiesty little personality! She's aggressive and firm, almost bossy-like...don't know where she gets that from...? She LOVES playing with her big brother...he can always make her laugh, or at least grin from ear to ear! Sometimes they play really well together and other times, she "bugs" him, LoL! Brody shows concern for her safety and worries about her when she's in distress. He tries to comfort her when she is upset and when she's happy, he's happy too! Overall, I would say he gets Excellent Big Brother marks! He often tells me, "mom, I like her!" One time I caught them playing together and laughing, and he tells her, "Too cute 'cedes...your cute!" It was so darn sweet!
I can't believe it's already been 9 months! It's gone by soooo fast, it makes me sad, but we're loving the little girl she's becomming! So sweet, so precious! We look forward to what's to come from our CoCoGirl!
