Summer Marie_9 months old

Summer Marie Martin is 9 months old!
9 Month Stats:
19 lb. 6 oz.
28 1/4 inches
50% percentile for both weight and height
One more month has gone by and I can't seem to slow things down. Summer is growing and developing so fast I can hardly keep up. Now she is crawling full speed, pulling up on everything, trying to climb, eating the same meals as us (blended) and can say "hey."
We go to the doctor next week and I will update you on her size then.
Here are her official 9 month photos. As you can see she is no longer the easy photogenic baby smiling at mommy. Now I see the back of her head most of the time. She won't sit in the chair long enough for me to snap a photo nor will she allow the "9 month" sign to be near her without eating it.
Summer's first Grandparents Camp week went great while we were in the caribbean. When I returned and saw her there was a big smile but that was it. I had to talk myself off the ledge and kept repeating "don't get your feelings hurt Jana." I am glad they had such a good time she didn't miss me.
Here are some photos that show her prissy personality.
I love these eyes and how she stopped for just a moment to let me take this picture. You can tell she is about to be on the move.

I have begun to notice a trend in some of Summer's behaviors. Here is what she is up to at 9 months old.
Climbing
Slobbering / spitting
Look Mom-no hands! This takes major concentration.




Disclaimer: The ONLY time Summer is crawling around the house in a diaper is for the few minutes that I take these monthly photos. I don't want yall to think she is a ragedy Anne with no clothes.

Summer,
Happy 9 Months!! Before we turn around it will be 1 YEAR!!! We need to start planning right now for that celebration! Time flies when you are having FUN! I miss you! Your MOM is fast with that camera--I don't know how she made that "no hands" picture that fast. I loved our time together and so did Grando, Grammy and Papa-Uncle Bud, Aunt Jen, Aunt Mary Ashley and Aunt Bethany! ALABAMA is always a Happy Place to be!!
Love you@
MIMI
