9 months old

We had our 9 month check up for Josie at the doctor's office yesterday. She is growing well and is around the 50th percentile for head, height and weight measurements. We got the go ahead to try finger foods, so Josie had cut up chicken and noodles for dinner. We also got the go ahead on all dairy (full fat) except for cow's milk (we have to wait until she is one year old), so she tried yogurt for the first time yesterday too. Josie was very excited about all of her new foods!

Josie's first finger foods - chicken and pasta!

Ryan and I also took Josie to the drive in to see Scott Pilgrim vs The World and Inception a couple of weeks ago. Josie enjoyed playing in the car during the first feature and fell asleep in her car seat for the second feature (after a brief rocking session outside of the car).

We took a funny video of Josie playing while "watching" Sesame Street. She doesn't sit and watch tv, but she will sit still long enough to see Elmo...her favorite!

Also, here is a cute one of her blowing bubbles in her cereal.

Buddha Belly

Here are some updated pictures of me with the largest belly ever imaginable!

(These pictures were taken yesterday, so it's actually 38 weeks 1 day)

Ryan compared my belly to a torpedo! Nice. Luckily, still no stretch marks. I'm betting our baby girl won't make her appearance until after Thanksgiving, but honestly...I'm ok with her coming out to see us whenever the heck she wants (as long as it is not 2 weeks past my due date).
