britten - almost 9 months

little B (the Biebs, or Bieber as she's often called by all; hopefully that doesn't stick!) is really on the move now! she started crawling a few weeks ago and is in everything (including the kitty food bowl - all the time. yuck!).  her newist trick is climbing up the stairs.  and man, you think you're big time when you do it, with big brother and sister cheering you on (bieber! bieber! yay!! puts the biggest smile on your face).  you are now always standing in your crib in the morning when I go to get you.  you have, however, know from the start how to get back down after you've pulled up on something (brother and sister had some trouble figuring that out and would just cry and cry because they'd be stuck standing up).  you don't say much right now except 'dadadadada' ; you love to blow rasberries and do a little "puff' sound for words (especially when you see a ktty - you squeal, then 'puff, puff').  4 teeth, size 3 diapers and eating mostly finger foods (ravioli, shredded cheese, squashed and cubed veggies, soy sausage, spaghetti, squashed up pears, chopped bananas, cheerios, mum mums, scrambled eggs). sleep wise, you have been going through a bit of a spell where you go to sleep fine, but then wake between 11pm and 1am, just wide awake, smiling, squeeling and wanting to hang out and play.  you are cute little girl, but not wide awake at 2am.
