Fiona is now a big 9 month old girl and what a girl she is!! This month has been marked by explosions in gross motor skills and social skills. She is increasingly expressing a desire to be part of the the "big kid" fun and play with Elliot and Weston. This month also saw her learning to crawl and she is now off like a rocket whenever you put her down. She is a girl on a mission and is heading off where she wants to go.
She has also learned to stand this month and can balance holding on with just one hand! She clearly has a desire to advance because you can see her catching her balance, getting ready and then letting go with her hand to balance as long as she can without falling.
She is also the owner of two little teeth and a REALLY big gummy smile. She flashes smiles whenever people come home or near her and she is super happy about it! She is very good natured and mostly happy about most things most of the time. Her favorite game is "tear things out of the play kitchen" as she loves pulling out all the toy kitchen implements to taste each one in succession and then throw it on the ground!
She is getting better about communication, mostly grunts and screams for now but we are working on sign language and increasingly getting the sense that she is understanding what we are saying to her. She's not ready to follow direction just yet, but it definitely seems like she is listening, paying attending and even comprehending some of what is going on.
With the COVID pandemic, we haven't really gotten to go many places this month but we've been enjoying lots of family time in the house, out on walks, the backyard and the hot tub.
