Elise is 9 months and Gobble Gobble!

Elise is 9 months old (well, a couple weeks ago).  She is getting to be such a big girl.  She is seriously in love with her brother.  She wants to do what he is doing, play with his toys.  He makes her laugh real real hard and also cry.  She had a good 1st Thanksgiving and we had her 9 month appt with a couple shots.  We headed to Dallas and spent Thanksgiving with the Bern's, Idol's and Sassy.  

Here are her stats: (Boston's stats at 9 months)
Weight: 19 4/16 lbs. (50th percentile)
Height: 28 in. (50-75th percentile)
Noggin: 46.5 cm (95th percentile)

What Elise is doing these days:
-Crawling like a crazy woman. There was no learning curve with this chick.  Once she figured it out, she was off to the races.
-She still just has 1 tooth, but I'm pretty sure there are 3 or 4 coming soon.  
-She spits her food while she is eating and Boston eggs her on.  So she laughs and spits more.  I have to wear an apron...yuck!
-She puts EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING in her mouth.  Dirt, wrappers, fuzz...she has an eagle eye and can find the smallest spec of dirt.
-She wakes up at the butt crack of dawn.  Somewhere between 4:45 and 5:15 ish.  The past 3 days she started pushing a little later.  Please say a prayer we'll be out of this phase soon.  
-And an extra PS to the big guy upstairs for some longer naps.  Her fave is a 30 minute cat nap at home.
