Happy 9 Months Aliya!

My baby is 9 months old today. Where has the time gone? In the last month she has changed from a baby to an explorer. She is on the go! When we went to the Dr., Aliya showed her all of her tricks. She weighed in at 19#-50% and measured 29.25" tall -95% and now what I know you're all waiting for....Head circumference was a whopping 46.5 cm.-97%. Those Van Hofwegens have a lot of brains. We're dealing with her reflux still (thus the bibs in every picture), but hopefully she'll begin growing out of it with the more solids she's eating. She has 6 teeth and more are coming in. As you can see in the pictures her hair is growing like a weed as well. We've had 2 haircuts at the salon and I just trimmed her bangs again last night. We love you Aliya and couldn't imagine our lives without you.

Aliya is moving all over the place and loving it!

She loves her sister's toys. Emmory doesn't really like that.

She's pulling herself up on everything.

Aliya is an extremely content baby. She is always happy and very easy going.

The only time she cries is when it's time for bed. I guess when you're discovering everything for the first time I can see why you wouldn't want to go to bed.
