Ciana turned 9 months old yesterday! She is now 16 lbs 12 oz and 28 1/4" tall. She is getting into everything! She especially likes to pull all of the Wii games, controllers, charging dock, etc. off of the shelf, which keeps us busy trying to keep her away from them. She has gotten in on a few games of Just Dance this way, however, and Maya is always amazed when she sees Ciana getting "Good" on some of the moves! She is crawling all over the place, pulling up to things, standing up in bed and can walk pushing her walker. She just needs to get a little more balance to stand on her own and she'll be off and walking. We started her on baby food about a month or more ago. She had a little bit of a late start, because she didn't want anything to do with the cereal when we tried it. So we finally just tried some baby food and she is loving it, except for the green beans and peas! Her favorites so far are sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, beef and turkey. We had a 10" snowfall a few days before Christmas and that was her first look at snow. She really seemed interested in it and kept looking out the window. There was a drift against our sliding doors as tall as she was standing next to it. We took her out in it recently when Maya wanted to go sledding in our backyard. Ciana didn't seem too thrilled, however. I guess we'll give it another year and see what she thinks.
