On the move!

Just in time for Allison's 9 month birthday, she's finally making some forward progress.  It's really amazing how quickly she went from rocking on her hands and knees to being able to tackle long distances!  She's still moving kinda slow (which is fine by me), but is loving her new ability to explore her surroundings at her own pace.  I do have a video of her efforts but it's on the old camera, so you'll have to wait until I get the motivation to upload it to the pc...

But here is her 9 month pic next to her china doll.  It's hard to believe that she was once the same size as it!  She's also acquired another skill in the last couple days--biting.  She is finally cutting her first tooth.  She's been handling it pretty well, however, there have been a few whiny nights this week. 

Allison's stats:

17lbs 1oz (25th percentile)

27.5in (50th percentile)

Tall and skinny!  Maybe she'll be a supermodel and we will never have to worry about money again...  Either way, we are very blessed to have this amazing little girl in our lives!
