9 months...

Nine months ago my life changed more than I ever imagined. Anyone who has a baby knows that, and they tell you that, but man you never understand how much until you have a baby yourself. Delilah is growing very quickly. She is about 19-20 lbs. (She was 19 lbs 4 oz when she was sick, we see the doctor in a week and half) She mastered the crawling in well about a week once she got moving. She is pulling herself up on everything. She is even taking walks if we hold her hands. She would prefer to walk then to crawl. It was so funny. The day we moved the bed down because I knew she was close to pulling herself up was the same day that she pulled herself up in bed. But the poor girl, once she got up, she didn't know what to do. She stood there, we think for awhile, but then when she got tired she just went ballistic. She got so scared. Even after we picked her up she was still shaking. She didn't want to stand for about 2 days but then she took right off again.

Now she doesn't really say much. She just says dadada a lot but and then ahahahah but they are more like babble than anything else. She also will respond if we sign but has not produced any signs herself. We get to rely on a lot of her nonverbal sucking on thumbs and relying on her schedule.

She finally got over her RSV. Then two days later she got another cold. Actually we all got another cold. Very frustrating. We had just sent the nebulizer back because she hadn't needed it for almost 5 days and then last night I actually heard her wheeze for a little bit but it only lasted about 5 mins. Hopefully we don't end up back at the doctor to get another nebulizer.

She is starting to finally eat meats and keep them down. She is starting on the finger foods and getting better. So all in all she is wonderful

I will get pictures up hopefully soon but did want to get and update out. Last night she was too fussy to get a few good pictures of her.
