Nine months and new tricks

Norah is nine months old now, and is working on some new tricks. She's on the move as soon as we set her down- scooting/crawling, rolling, and walking (still with a little help). She likes standing on her own and even cruises from one piece of furniture to another.

She also likes to "help" Dan and I with the laundry. She can scoot over to our bottom drawers, pull them open, pull herself up, and then pull everything out of the drawer- all on her own. Dan and I were pretty impressed when she did it the first time, though it's admittedly a little less cute now that she does it over and over again- since it means we have to re-fold a drawer full of clothes.

"Helping" with the laundry

We just started giving her Cheerios a couple of weeks ago so she could learn to feed herself. At first, she had a lot of fun dropping every Cheerio on the floor, but she got the hang of getting them into her mouth pretty quickly. Dan and I cheered her on, and she seemed pretty proud of herself, too!

We're having so much fun with her as she's getting more active, and still can't believe how fast the time is going!
