Oh our little Allie isn't so little any more!  She is making her way up the growth chart for sure.  From the 39% to the 76% for weight in 9 months!  The girl can eat!  She definitely eats more than her big sis. Trying to keep up with her brother and sister in every way!

Allie's personality is showing itself more and more these days.  Full of life and has more highs and lows than her siblings seem to have at this age.  Loves to jump! I sometimes say that life is a trampoline to Allie.  Started jumping off both feet at 16 months. Loves the neighbors trampoline and jumping off just about anything.  Screams! LOUDLY!...when mad-wants something-to get up in the morning-in the car, etc.  Encouraging her to use her words!  Tantrums have started.  Will throw herself on the hardwoods if I walk out the door sometimes.  Having some separation anxiety for sure. Wants her mommy!

Beginning to say more and more and repeating things. Will lay her head on my chest at times...I tell her, "I love hugs". Loves reading books! Balls, Eating. Sleeps on average 12-13hrs at night and one 2- 2 1/2 hr nap.  Loves her "Ba"(doggy blanky). Sucks her left thumb, prefers to eat and throw with left hand. We may have a lefty. Playing with Davis and Haley more and more. Started to discipline(time alone in crib) for pulling hair and hitting.  Will nip that in the bud. Listens pretty well and enjoys cleaning up and helping in any way.  Loves trying to place tops on cups and putting things in and out of objects.

Love this little girl who just wants to be in my lap or on my hip.  My little appendage :) Will always remember how you just walk backwards and plop your little hiney in my lap.  XOXOXO.  "Eskimo kisses-Butterfly kisses-Mommy kisses".
