Happy 9 months old...already!

I know, I'm a little behind but I've been so busy with school. My little baby girl is growing up! These past 9 months have gone by so fast but I've had so much fun watching her grow. She weighed in at 16lbs, 4.7oz at her check-up the other day. She did such a good job letting the doctor check her...she usually cries but not this time! They even pricked her finger to check her blood and she just sat there and laughed and played the whole time. She's such a happy baby....MOST of the time! Makayla is the most amazing little girl. I'm so blessed to have her in my life! I think about how little she was and how much she has grown and learned so many new things. She is not even a little bit delayed like I thought she might be after being born so early.
Here are her new developments:
She is now "crawling" all over the house! She doesn't crawl using her knees for some reason but she uses her hands and pulls herself and uses her feet to push. I don't know what kind of crawling it is but she sure knows how to get around! I have to chase her all over the place. She is also learning how to pull up and stand. She pulls up on the couch and just stands there. The other day, she crawled into the kitchen where I was doing the dishes and pulled up on the dishwasher. I guess she was trying to help me. She always finds her way to whatever she wants. She's so smart! I had her exersaucer blocking her from the kitchen so she decided to crawl through it to get to the kitchen. I think I'm going to have my hands full with this little munchkin. She has also learned how to make lots of noises with her mouth. She thinks it's so funny. My favorite thing that she has started doing is sleeping in HER bed ALL night long! I put her in her bed at 9:00 every night and she sleeps all night. I love it!
Here are some pictures of my girl!
