9 months going on 18

Presley had her 9 month check up yesterday. Yes, it is two weeks late. I had some appointments that needed to be taken care of and had to push her appt. back. Anyways, she did super good. Here are her stats:
weight: 17 lbs 1 oz (20th percentile)
height: 27 in (40th percentile)
I don't remember the size of her head but it was in the 40th percentile too!

When her doctor was going through all the nine month check list she was amazed at what Presley is doing. She asked "Can Presley do the pincher grip?" Just as she said it she did the motions to show the index finger touching the thumb. Before I even had the chance to say yes, Presley was mimicking back to her the pincher grip. The doctor then asked, "Is Presley working on crawling?" I said, "Umm....ya....she is trying to walk and is climbing!" As if on cue (I had Presley standing next to the bench) Presley pulled up on the bench and was trying to put her leg up on top of it!!! The doctor then looked at me and said, "ok, lets just move on the the 12 month check list. I don't know why Presley is in a hurry but she thinks she is 12 months old." She then went through most all of that check list. Leaving a few for Presley to learn!! Before we left she said, "if you consult a milestone checklist for ideas to encourage her development you need to look at the 18 month list. Not that you need to do much encouraging, but Presley is starting those things already!" I was proud and then thought....AHHHHHH!!!!

Her walking is getting lots better. Most of the day she takes 4-5 steps and then falls. Then at night or in the early morning she will just wobbly all over the living room. We try not to encourage it too much, but it is really fun to watch her figure this out. One thing is for sure-now that we are attempting to walk our "Booboo Bear" gets used A LOT!!
