My big girl!

We just returned from our 9 month check-up (even though we are almost 10 mo!) and the numbers are in!
Nora weighs a whopping 19lb 6 1/2oz and is 27 3/4" tall!
For comparison, at our 1st visit at 5mo she weighed 13lb 1/2oz and was 24 1/2" tall.
Wow, I can't believe how much and how fast she is growing:)
She is saying mama & dada along with baba, nana, and other sounds- she loves to babble.
She can wave and sort of point-it's more like a whole hand gesture at whatever she is interested in. She also claps when you say YAY! or if she hears cheering/clapping-very cute!
She is crawling, pulling up and starting to cruise-she really enjoys endlessly jumping up and down in her crib ;)
She will eat almost anything (except spinach!), we tried fish for the 1st time last night and she loved it! We are pretty much done with the jar baby food-she gets whatever we eat within reason (no peanut butter n' chocolate ice cream-that's mine!) She is also sort of getting the hang of drinking out of a big girl cup-although most of it still ends up down her shirt.
She is also showing a defiant side-she is the queen of dramatic meltdowns-I keep telling her she has a whole year before she's 2! Forget about quick diaper changes anymore-she is all over the place-rolling, flailing, screaming-she does it all!
She *loves* danger and goes to ANYTHING that she shouldn't (cords, outlets, sharp objects...) and when you tell her "no" and re-direct her to something else she has taken to slapping the air! Oh boy!
