9 Months Old

This post is a week old but Jordyn is 9 months old...so close to 1 year! She is getting so big although at the same time slowing down. Everyone thinks I'm lying when I say that she's getting thinner but she really is! We went to the doctors on May 16th and she is very healthy. She now weighs 24 pounds and is 29 inches long. Now, 24 lbs may seem like a lot but that means she gained a little less than a pound a month compared to her earlier average of 2 pounds a month. So she definitely is slowing down.
She has grown so much just in the past two weeks. Over the past month she has begun standing on her own and is very sturdy. She definitely doesn't want to do it unless she wants to do it but when she does want to she does it well. Also, just this past week or so she has started taking steps. Only 2-3 at a time but she does a great job at it and doesn't fall. I think she could be walking a lot more if she wanted to but she is very cautious.
She also has begun saying words. Her new favorite word is uh-oh and we are trying to catch it on video to show you. She is really into copying people and so if you say uh-oh she says it back. She also likes to say ow and clap if you clap first. She has really begun talking a lot although most of it doesn't make sense. It's very fun though to see her read a book outloud or just talk while she's playing with her toys. She is becoming very grown up. She also has 3 teeth and another about to come through any day. We are very proud and excited about our big girl!
