9 month girl

Sarah: Adele turns 9 months tomorrow! She is growing and changing and developing so fast that it's hard to keep up with her. She is super chatty, almost always happy, eating a ton, and is really teething, with 3-4 new teeth in and a couple more on the way. With her so busy and active, we have quickly found that QERC is NOT baby-proof. Adele has the gift of being able to find the chemicals in the laboratory, the cleaning supplies, and the tools in the storage room. I spend most of my day chasing her around the building. I have a picture of most of her other new tricks:

Adele is eating so much for meals now and I'm just thrilled! Here is one evening that she got so tired that she fell asleep in the middle of her meal, as David and I were cooking and the music was playing. I'm not so sure if this is a trick, or just a trait she gets after her Uncle Rusty Roth.

Adele loves to play in the most random places, as one of her favorites is any sink she
finds. I just have to stay right near her to make sure she doesn't turn the water on!

Adele can climb the stairs on her own now!

Adele loves to practice walking EVERYWHERE.

Adele can pull herself up on anything, and loves pulling all the
books she can reach off the bookshelf up in the library.

The girl LOVES to be outside - unfortunately with it being the rainy
season, sunny days where the grass is dry are few and far between.

Naturally, everything she finds goes in the mouth - bugs, grass, and dirt. :)
