9 months old

As of today, our baby has been with us for nine months. The time has flown by and the changes in her are incredible.

She is such a little character. She is really into laughing right now. At times it's hard to know if she's really truly laughing herself, or imitating us laughing, but either way, it's ridiculously cute.
We've been doing some of the basic sign language with her for the last couple of months, mainly 'more', 'all done', and 'please'. They're mostly used around food and she still gets a little confused at times. She does love her food and when she's all done, she naturally expects more...so it's a work in progress.

These are some of the words that she already has under her belt.
Dada - Daddy, of course (said with great relish and zeal)
Mama - Yup, that's me. She normally only says Mama either in the middle of the night or when for some reason she's very upset
Baba - Booby, we're still breastfeeding and this is normally when she's crying for me at 5am!
Baa baa - Bye bye, as she waves
All da - All done. This however does not necessarily mean 'my food is all done' more like 'my food is all gone...I NEED MORE!!!!

She has been doing so well with her eating, although she definitely has a bit of a sweet tooth. Foods we've introduced so far are:

Rice cereal, banana, avocado (which she seemed to have a reaction to, so we're avoiding for a while), sweet potato, carrots, yoghurt, yellow squash, broccoli (which she does NOT like), peas, apple sauce, mango, pears, courgette/zucchini, as well as a variety of baby teething biscuits/cookies/toasts/crackers.

I swear that if we let her, she would eat all day...so of course we don't.

She is such a little treasure and we all adore her and can't wait to see more of her personality unfold.
