9 months old today!

Well, Aleigha turned 9 months old today. Oh how time has flown by. With every day, Aleigha is getting bigger and bigger. She is reaching another milestone with every passing minute it seems like. She has been such a joy in our lives. Chris and I couldn't be happier. She is such a blessing. We thank God everyday for her.
Lets see, at 9 months old Aleigha weighs aprox. 15.5 lbs and 27 inches tall (the height is just an estimation). She has one tooth, her bottom right middle one. She crawls faster than you can imagine. She pulls herself up and can walk along the couch, crib, or whatever else she might pull herself up on. She can climb the stairs (which scars me to death). She can stand up w/out support for up to 10 secs. She loves to clap. She enjoys doing the hand movements for "Itsy Bitsy Spider" (the spider part at least) and "Patti-Cake." She is also doing baby sign language. She frequently does the signs for "eat," "milk," "love," and sometimes "more." Which by the way, she loves to eat. She also loves to dance. The second she hears music, the dancing begins. She also loves to laugh. She plays peek-a-boo...she pulls the blanket over her own face. She shakes her head "yes"...a very dramatic "yes" at that. The other day she called 411...thank goodness it wasn't 911. She sometimes blows kisses, but always waves. The advancements seem endless.
Today we celebrated her 9 month birthday by eating Oreos. She loved them. Here is a video and some pictures of her from today.
