I think Rocco was jealous of Alina's picture being taken:

Alina had her 9 month check up on the 25th. She's doing great! Her stats:

weight: 19 lbs 14 oz (90th %)

height: 27½" (50th %)

head: 18" (75th %)

Dr. Shaw was thrilled with how great she's doing. She said she wishes we would've known back in December when we were so worried about her.

We are starting new finger foods with Alina. The first one we tried was mandarin oranges and she loved them! We also did some elbow macaroni, which was hard for her to pick up but she liked it.

Here are pictures from that morning:

She loooooooves to stand! Sometimes she doesn't take naps because she would rather stand up in her crib.

This is what we use for her bath toys and I recommend it to everyone (they also have a frog version):

Today:

It was in the 50s when we woke up!









Alina has been doing really great with the finger foods. Last night she had cut up chicken and whole peas for dinner! She also has a new tooth. This one is on top and she bit me really hard when I was checking. Ow! I won't be doing that again.

Here is a video from last week:
