9 months old!

This picture was taken last night (3-12-09).

This one is her 9 month picture. She how much we want to walk?

Can you believe it? She's 9 months already! Holy cow. We went to the pediatrician, on Wednesday. She weighs in at 18 lbs 12 oz, is 27 inches long, and has a big melon! Weight she's at 50%, length she's at 25%, and her head is at a whoppin' 70%. She's got the Wilson head, poor girl. She's doing really well, she ahead of the game still for her age. She's crawling like mad and walks along the furniture and even lets go when she's standing!

She took her first step(s) on Thursday! At work. She took one step to Zachary. Both of ours jaws about hit the ground! Later yesterday afternoon she took 2 steps to Jamie! Once she figures it out, she'll be gone! She finally took a step for Daddy last night. Her right leg thumbs on the floor, seriously, it's cute! :)


Back to the doctor appointment. At her six month check up Susie had heard a little murmur while listening to her heart. She said it was nothing to panic over, and that she could probably hear it because Nyssa was calm while she was listening. Susie still heard it Wednesday. We will be taking her to a cardiologist. She said it's still nothing to panic over. Basically just to get it checked out because with the economy and with our insurance through Chuck's job, it's to cover ourselves if something happened with his insurance. (Honestly, once she brought up the cardiologist I kind of started blocking things...Chuck wasn't able to go because of work.) I honestly am not so worried because I figure it was something that needed to taken care of ASAP we would be there next week. It still pretty scary. But obviously she is doing amazing right now.

She is starting to want people food more and more. I have no objection to that at all. The other morning she totally boycotted baby food at breakfast. After about 3 bites, she smacked my hand away and she got Cheerio*s. At lunch I figured we would try out some mac and cheese and strawberries! She LOVED them! I still try and sneak in the baby food at breakfast and night, especially the cereal!

Her personality is showing more and more now. If you catch her at the right time she'll answer, "yeah" still. I usually say, "Nyssa do you love Momma?" I never know if I'll get the answer I'm hoping for! She also opens her mouth wide when she's talking and she loves to stick her tongue out over those two teeth on the bottom! Still no top teeth. They are even closer still, but they don't want to come out yet.

I better finish getting packed. We are heading to the Amana colonies to meet the Wilson clan. It sounds like there is a good bunch of them all going! It should be a good time! There will a lot of photos to be taken and some will be posted up here as well as face book! Nyssa can't wait to play with her cousin Tayven!!
