Here we are at 9 months, developing our little personalities



Chloe is social. She tries to make you laugh, she wants to interact and imitate. She learns fast. She picked up signing really fast. So this all leads to some really funny things she does. She started with the "fish face" my all time favorite:


Fish face with Nate




Fish face in the bumbo 
Fish face during story time
 Then the silver rattle that Mimi gave her:



I tried so hard to get a video of her signing. This is one of my favorites: Milk!!


It is hard to imagine how she picked it up so fast, but she was signing milk, starting from 9 months on. She also signed "more," "all done" and "mama."


Nate is more physically oriented and still a little shy. He would practice a gross motor skill until he got it mastered, if it was rolling, sitting, crawling, learning to walk or ride his bike. He didn't care how many times he fell, it didn't even phase him, he just kept practicing until he got it and then it was on to the next thing. He was sensitive to loud sounds and would startle easily. Something Chloe figured out at about 6 months and would scream loudly on purpose to startle him and make him cry. The little girl has something of a mean streak, too!
