9 Months Old

Today Imogen is 9 months old -- and this past 9 months has gone by in the blink of an eye! Watch the short video to see Imogen crawling on her hands and knees. She's been doing this now for about 2 weeks. Also, in the past week, she's started to clap and wave! Some things we've been trying to teach her are all coming out at once. She is a pro at pulling up on anything and everything too, so we've had to watch her a lot more than we are used to. She also has conversations with herself in her own language and Chris and I get tons of laughs from this!

Food continues to be a chore though. The lady will not open her mouth to save her life! It's actually kind of funny to sit there and watch her purse her lips and shake her head as if to say, "get that crap out of my face!" HA I made her some applesauce tonight and after she gagged when I tricked a spoonful into her mouth, I decided to move to some bananas, which she normally likes, but tonight was a no-go. She mashed it between her fingers and played with it for awhile, but never once put her hand to her mouth for a taste. Oh well, when she is ready to eat, she will! Clearly she is not starving, so right now we're going to take food slow :-) She's got her whole life to enjoy it!
