9 months old!

Emily is now 9 months old!  I just can't even believe it.  I am beside myself with how fast time is moving by.  She is so close to being a one year old, it's ridiculous!  I've already started thinking and planning for her party - craziness!

We are just back from her 9 month checkup.  Here are the current stats:

Weight:  19 lbs (50th percentile)
Height:  29 1/2 in (95th percentile)

As far as new milestones go - she is pulling herself up to stand - ON EVERYTHING!  This is all this child does day in and day out practically.  She will crawl her way over to anything and try to pull up:

couch
chair
storage bin
piano bench
crib (ugh, my least favorite because it stops her from napping, she is too busy standing!)
baby gates (she likes to pull up and then cry because she can't get past)
her inflatable ball pit (which she then tumbles down because it can't support her)
and random toys in the middle of the floor (which she usually falls on them because they are pretty low to the ground and not good for support, haha)

Oh and how can I forget - mom and dad!  Anytime we are on the floor with her, she will crawl over and pull on my hair, my pants, my shirt - anything she can get her hands onto and try to pull up.  It's cute and all, but she's driving me nuts!

She is growing like a weed and just continuing to amaze us and bring joy to our lives!!
