Nine months and counting








So, I have been putting off another blog because Johanna was having her nine month check-up this week (even though she turned 9 months two weeks ago- gotta love how that works). She officially had her appointment yesterday. So, I can now update the world who I'm sure is anxiously anticipating the most recent information. I don't want you all to have anymore sleepless nights!! Ok, now that I'm over myself, I will continue.
She is weighing in at an amazing 20 lbs 13 ounces and is almost 30 inches long. For those of you who thrive on percentages- that is about the 75% for weight and the 95% for height. So, she's still a big girl!

She is doing more and more things everyday!! Her latest craze is walking around the coffee table and playing "Where's Johanna!" which is our much cooler version of peekaboo. She covers her eyes with something (ranging from a blanket to a shirt to a coaster) and then I say "where's Johanna" until she pulls it down and I say "There she is!" The thing that makes this game so fun is the fact that Johanna already has our twisted sense of humor. She will hold the object up for different amounts of time to see how long I will keep saying "Where's Johanna. Where is she at? I don't see her!" I think she really gets a kick out of how dumb I sound doing this! Sometimes she'll be real fast, and other times she will wait almost a minute!! She is very diabolical!!

The down side of the past month or so is that she has been sick off and on. She has been fighting sinus infections, which is no fun. She has a total of six teeth now. At least that's all I know about because she HATES to let me poke around in her mouth. I don't blame her. I wouldn't like that either. She also has finally moved into size 4 diapers. She was in between sizes for a couple weeks, and we have the pooped stained clothes to prove it! I should post a picture of her poopy tights from church last Sunday (pretty funny!!). Sometimes you just have to laugh!

So, this post is going on 5 days for me to make (does that sentence make sense?)! Things are CRAZY busy! We are rearranging the living room because we hung our tv above the fireplace. Johanna has been going nuts trying to get into all the cords. This makes me very nervous, so she has been playing in her super-yard a lot. I have some other things to post, but I will post this update about everyone's favorite (at least my favorite!) little girl!

I love the pictures, and the blog! Good thing they didn't have that when I was raising kids...I would have driven everyone nuts, because I type as fast as I think!!! And I had times FOUR to brag about!!! God saved the world, once again!

Glad to hear how happy you are being a mama. There's nothing like it, is there?

Hope Johanna continues to feel better. We miss you and Brian, and would love to see you, if you are around for Christmas.

Love,
Aunt Jan

Absolutely adorable! And smart, too!

Of course, she IS my grandchild, so I guess that explains it....
