Nine month update
Harper is already 9 months, we are truly wondering where the months have gone. She had her 9 month doctor's appointment today. She is now 17 pounds, 3 ounces and is 27.5 inches long. She is in the 70% for head circumference, 50% for height and 25% for weight (a significant drop from the 60% for weight at her 6 month appointment). As my paranoia rose about her lollipop-shaped figure, the doctor reassured me that this pattern is typical for exclusively breastfed 9 month olds and that weight is distributed in this order: head, height and then weight. Given how active she is, it has been expected that she would thin out like this. But I will admit it makes me sad.
She is crawling, pulling herself to stand, attempting to walk around the furniture, pushing her wagon (a fantastic gift from Anna & Papa!) and attempting to crawl up our slate tile stairs, which we are completely restricting. Andy and I are struggling to baby-proof in an effective way because at this point she requires constant supervision, which is exhausting and does not facilitate cooked meals or a clean house. Her favorite activity is swimming and she is absolutely intrigued by books. She has shown a very clear interest in music and has quite the dance moves already. Not sure where those come from, certainly it is not me - maybe Oscar?

Baby in motion
Harper has her 9 month appointment on Monday and I am very interested to find out how much she weighs now, given the fact that she has not stopped moving for the past 2 months. For the first 6 months of her life, I was obsessively concerned about her weight gain. At this point, it is a lost cause. It seems that she is probably burning calories as fast as I can put them in her.

Pulling myself up to stand
In one week, Harper has gone from almost crawling to speed crawling to pulling herself up on everything and anything in our house. She is obsessed with standing and has been pulling herself up to a stand in her crib, which we recently lowered to the lowest setting. This obviously terrifies me because she is not even 9 months old! I wasn't expecting it to happen so quickly.
