Don't I look great in pink?

Exploring
After I posted Maegan's 9 month picture, I realized that it is the first one I've posted where you can see her 2 teeth. She almost has a 3rd now, on the top.
Maegan is a proficient cruiser now, and has even started to climb the stairs! Matthew installed the baby gate yesterday at the bottom of the stairs by the back door (there is a door at the top--our bedroom).
Maegan has tried some new foods in the past couple of weeks, all of which she liked. They included:
-Cheese ravioli in spaghetti sauce
-Popsicle (at day care when teething)
-Ramen noodles
-Yogurt
I took her back to the Dr. last week for a follow up appointment after her ear infection. It wasn't gone, so she got a different prescription. At that appointment, she weighed 20 lbs.
Maegan's new favorite sound is 'la la la'. She also likes playing in the pool at day care and making big splashes in the bath tub. We're planning to go to Hoffmaster State Park on the 4th of July. This will be Maegan's first trip to the beach. Look for pictures of that soon!

Cruising
When I was in high school, cruising was driving around in your car after school and on weekends. Now cruising has a new definition: moving around the room by holding on to the furniture.
Now that Maegan can pull herself up to stand, she can't get enough of it. She gets a happy pleased-with-herself look on her face when she pulls up and stands there on wobbly knees. It didn't take her long to figure out that she could move around by hanging on to one kitchen chair and then the next. Yesterday she went from hanging on to her high chair to the edge of the table to the next chair and then over to her Exersaucer. I've even seen her let go of the crib rail and teeter for a second before plopping down onto her bed. She likes to pull herself up and then let go with one hand while reaching down with the other to pick up a toy. As soon as she straightens up to stand again, she plops down on her bottom and starts over again.
Maegan has been practicing her ba-ba-aba-aba sounds lately, adding to her ma-ma-ma and da-da-da. She stayed happy even while suffering from yet another cold and a mild ear infection last week. Now that she is feeling better, she is even happier. What a blessing!
Maegan's likes:
-Hanging upside-down
-Drinking from a cup
-Standing up
-Doggies
-People (especially mama)
Maegan's dislikes:
-Unexpected loud sounds like hair dryers and vacuum cleaners
-Waiting for the bottle she can clearly see is ready
-Holding still (lying down) while being changed
