We went for Kathryn's 9 month check-up last week and she's doing just fine. She is in the 50th percentile for height and the 40th for weight at 18 lbs., 9 oz. Our doctor is happy, so I'm happy! He came in and greeted her and she said "hi". We were both a little taken back. She also surprised us when he asked "does she play patty-cake?" and she started clapping. She has been cruising for a while, and is now working on walking. She's taken a few awkward steps on her own! I think it will still be a while before she gets the hang of it though, which is good because she is already too fast for me just crawling. Today she was about two seconds from chowing down on wet cat food- that's how fast she is. (Mom-1 Kate-0, so far today) She got her first little boo boo this week, and she really had to work for it. We have corner guards on our hearth, and with me sitting right next to her, she took off the corner guard, then proceeded to scrape her chin in half a millisecond. I saw the whole thing and still have no idea how she managed to do it.
Here she is cruising along aforementioned hearth a few weeks ago, stopping to admire the baby in the mirror of course:
Well, that's it for now... nine month olds don't leave much time for blogging!

Yay for good check ups! It's funny but my 6 month old bruiser boy weighed 18 pounds 13 oz at his 6 month appt!! He will catch up to Grace (who only weighs 25 pounds @ 2 and a half) in no time. Ahhh! Glad you all had a wonderful 1st Christmas!
