Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

9 Months Old!

Once again, Gemma is almost to the next month milestone and I'm just now blogging about her last month's milestone!  She's been a busy 9 month old!
 We celebrated St. Paddy's Day with cousins at Ava's 1st birthday party.  All these (part) Irish babies were sporting their green so there was no pinching going on!  Gemma got to play with her cousins, Noah and Faith.
 She had her first taste of corned beef and cabbage at Grammy and Nonno's that night, too.  She doesn't look sold on it in the picture below, but she gobbled up the few bites she had.
 She's a smiling, chattering, crawling, standing, cruising busy baby these days.
 One of her favorite places to scamper off to is Riley's food and water bowls - that little troublemaker pulls herself up and tries to eat dog food and play in his water constantly!  Poor Riley thinks he's in competition for his own food.
 She's busy laughing and making a mess every night during dinner, too.
 She's now able to not only pull herself to a full standing position, but also sit back down from that position (gracefully, not just letting go and falling).  She's also cruising now (walking while holding onto something like the coffee table or ottoman).  She's jibber-jabbering away all the time, too.  She's got two bottom teeth and is working on one on the top now, too.  She loves to gnaw on the coffee table, the fireplace, our bed footboard and anything else she can put in her mouth that's NOT made for chewing! 
Can't believe our sweet girl is in the last quarter of her first year!  Birthday party planning is in full swing!
