Dorman Days: Nine Months

Our baby girl is 9 months old! According to the doctor, you act more like a one year old than a nine month old. You know what you like, you are very vocal, determined, funny, sweet, and just down right hilarious. Luke is the best dad, and you are daddy's girl for sure.
This past month we watched you take off! I know I already mentioned you started walking on 9-26, but on October 7th you learned how to get up from the floor without having to pull up. There is no stopping you now!
Mommy is trying desperately to end her milk supply (and having a lot of trouble getting it to go away), so you still prefer breast milk, but we have added in two formula bottles a day now. I think we might actually make it this entire time without having to buy any formula.
In terms of food, you do like a good variety of things, but after trying out all of the brands, you are a PLUM girl for sure. They have the strangest combinations of foods (like cherry, sweet corn, and greek yogurt...but you like it, A LOT). In terms of table food, you love to eat what we eat, and going forward I'm looking forward to feeding you a lot more of what we are already having.
You are a very friendly baby who does not hesitate when handed to other people.
I was a horrible mom and didn't get any good pictures of you without your dress already being a wrinkled mess, but you had a wonderful support system of family show up for your dedication at the church. It was so sweet that you got dedicated with your friend Celia Adams.
This past weekend you attended your first ever Dorman family barn dance. This is a big Dorman deal, so I am excited you had a great time dancing to the music already. It was wonderful to spend time with your great grandparents too.
You've got six teeth now, and I feel like you are always working on another.
We took you to Petite Feet in Savannah for your first ever pair of shoes (that were not consignment or hand me down...actually sized to your feet). You walk better barefoot, but are getting the hang of this shoe thing. You wear a size four shoe, size 3 diaper, and 9-12 month clothes (12 month pants though). You also got over your fear of pumpkins, just in time for Halloween!
You are such a blessing, and fill your parents life with amazing JOY!
