Into EVERYTHING

We cannot take our eyes off of Scarlett for a second these days. After a very scary broken vase incident when daddy was on duty, (yes, I'm throwing him under the bus) we're in full baby proof mode right now. We've covered plugs, replaced the coffee table, and put breakables and cleaning products out of reach. She's sneaky though and will try her hardest to get to things she wants, like the fireplace...no matter what I put in front of it, she still gets to it!

Any object is fair game for her to pull up on
which can also be quite hazardous!

She loves to open and close, open and close, open and close,(get my point!?) the cabinets. I'm going to use baby locks on most but leave some safe ones for her to play with because she loves it that much!

Anything good in here?

We can be sure she will go for anything that's not an actual toy: remotes, cordless phones, cords of all kinds, important paperwork, full coffee cups, kitty fur...the list goes on...

Daddy's work badge looks fun, I've also got the calculator too!

Food is more fun than ever now too! (for her at least) Here she is after a dinner of baby spaghetti, peas and prunes.

Ahhh....finally playing with something that's allowed.
Safe and sound at last.

Birthday Party Fun

We celebrated London's 3rd birthday this weekend at Chuck E. Cheese. Man that place is loud! We all had a fun time though. Happy Birthday Miss London!

Birthday Girl!

Lily is growing up too fast too!

BFF!

Well sooner or later at least...

First bite of birthday cake;
she was more interested in the cheese pizza though!

Thanks for the fun party favors London,
bubbles and snacks and lots of other fun treats!
We had a great time!

Toy of the Day

Her room overflows with toys yet this is one of her favorite things...

Still My Chug-a-lug!

Scarlett had her 9 month check-up yesterday as well as her first helmet adjustment with the second helmet. Two doctor's appointments in one day, fun! fun! But luckily there are no shots at 9 months!! And helmet #2 is already starting to work its magic.

At 9 months Scarlett weighs: 22.5 pounds, 95th percentile, and she is 28 1/2 inches long, 95th percentile. At least she's consistent!

She is doing great developmentally, and we're going to start some table foods and level 3 baby foods this month.

Here's a little clip of her babbling and moving around. I've learned that she is pretty fearless when it comes to attempting to move around and go from standing to crawling and crawling to sitting to standing! (I realize my camera makes a strange noise when I have it in film mode, no clue.....)
