Dahlia is Nine Months Old

Dahlia went for her nine-month check-up this week. Here are the numbers. She's 27.4 inches long (40th percentile) and weighs 18 lbs. 13 ounces (50th percentile).

It's official...she's a bit chubby! But the potbelly is one of dahlia's endearing features!

Remember when she was duck-size? Now she's almost as big as pooh bear!




Dahlia has mastered the skill of pulling herself up to a standing position. She now declares the end of nap time by standing and waiting for somebody to let her out. Sometimes she even uses this skill to announce that it isn't nap time yet, standing up (and babbling!) after her parents put her down.



Modeling her first hair bow:



Every Friday is "spirit day" at school. Dahlia only has one sports team shirt (go Mud Hens!), so sometimes she just goes with the cheerleader look:



"Catnip" (aka Ethan Sides) also came for a visit this month. See the pictures and hilarious captions on Ethan's page for a play-by-play. Did Dahlia agree that Ethan is "catnip for the ladies?" It looks like she had her doubts:

Just hanging out and enjoying life. Keep cool, everybody!
