La Familia Crespo: 9 Months ALREADY!

I can't believe it's been 9 months already since little Cristiana blessed us with her presence in this world. It feels like just yesterday she was still in my belly. Our 9 month check up went extremely well. She's grown 2 1/2 inches in the past 3 months (total 26 in.) and has gained 3 lbs 7 oz. (total - 17lbs 9oz) We are actually in the 25-50% category of weight which is awesome since we spent so much time in the low 5% which made me very uneasy, but what can I say, she is getting lots of mommy's milk still and she LOVES her fruits and veggies (and her oatmeal too). She has become a total clown, I guess she got that from her parents and is always such a delight to wake up to (every 2 hrs. throughout the night....yes...she is still not sleeping). Every morning she wakes up happy as can be, which just makes the sleepless nights seem insignificant, and she spends her days just crawling around trying to see what kind of trouble she can get into and get away with. Diaper changes have become a major battle ground for her since she hates to be confined now and she definitely lets you know that she is not happy when you take something away from her (can we say temper tantrums..yes....every once in a while) and she has become quite the chatter box which again she got from her parents who both can't shut up. Cristiana keeps mommy quite busy these days, even the doctor said "she must be a handful because she is so busy" she spent her check up grabbing every thing the doctor had with him (we don't have a shy one in our hands, that's for sure). I can't even imagine what it will be like when she starts walking, mommy's going to have to buy some skates.
