Nine Months

I can't believe it is 9 months already! I probably say that every month, but 9 months seems strange. Well, we just got back from Jenna's check up, and she is doing well. She is in the 99th percentile for length at 30 1/2 inches long, and the 70th percentile for weight at 20 lbs, 8 ounces. I have included a picture of Jenna attempting to crawl, notice I say attempting because we have not mastered this skill yet. No matter, how much Mike models Jenna still does not follow:) She does about 2 steps and then collapses to the floor and does her swimming motion. According to the doctor, she should be trying to walk along furniture, however she is only attempting to pull herself up on the furniture. She gets to her knees and then gets stuck. I am sure that will be quickly changing though because she is active.
The only other 'first' at this time is Jenna had her first cold. In fact it is back. It started New Years weekend which caused Mike and I to have a very quiet New Years. It has also interrupted our peaceful nights of sleep. Since then, Jenna has been getting a couple of times during the night. Hopefully after we get past this cold, we'll be back on track.
