Jiana - 9 Months

Again, soooo delayed! But better late than never, right? So Jiana is 9 months old and she is up to so many new things. Foremost, she has gotten really good at picking herself up by holding onto an object and remain standing. I am not sure how she keeps herself up, with those adorable chubby feet but she does! She scoots around the house now by walking alongside the couch or holding onto toys. But now we have to be super careful since she is walking and falling! Most of the time she falls on her bum, which is somewhat padded.

She is a lot more vocal... her sounds of 'kakakaka" or "gagagaga" are heard more often. She definitely knows how to get attention, by either squealing or coming up to you and grabbing your pants to pull herself up.

And Jiana waves!! She waves hello and bye, with her hand open and palm up. It's pretty darn cute, and its exactly the same way Suhana used to wave. 

Her personality is starting to develop more as well, especially when her and Suhana are together. Suhana is in the toddler stage of "That's Mine!" We hear it constantly and we are constantly trying to explain that she needs to share. I think that concept will take some time to cement. But there is absolutely nothing cuter than Jiana watching Suhana play. Jia will just sit there and watch Suhana be a busybody playing with all her toys, with the BIGGEST smile on her face. I have to say, she loves her sister. Suhana who is pretty much in her own world most of the time, will stop and ask where Jiana is, if she hasn't seen her for a little while. Jiana on the other hand, follows Suhana around, will climb on her, and watch her with such curiosity. I know she is thinking, wait till I walk!

But don't get me wrong, I can see my future when these two will be fighting! Oh help us! When I get to that stage, I will be remembering how easy this was.

Mommy dressed me like a doll!

There goes the paper.

Daddy got in for a pic :)
