9 Months

 Our sweet little Vivi had a busy month full of growth. 

• She had the roseola virus at the beginning of the month and right after that her second tooth started coming in. By the end of the month she was dealing with a little cold. So yeah, not much sleeping for the two of us. 
• She still doesn't care about food much, but has started to eat a little when we eat. 

Still just peach fuzz on her head. I figure she spending way too much energy doing other things for her hair to grow. 

• She is really good at clicking her tongue. The Crossley's have this uncanny ability to click their tongues really loud, and I think she'll have that. She also loved saying "doy doy doy" and almost sounded like an angry cat. 
• She gets real mad when things are taken from her and isn't easily distracted from what she wants. Oh boy...

Still everyone's favorite. Such a happy happy baby. 

• She's crawling all over the place and super busy. She's already super interested in the bathroom and trash cans are her favorite. She's months ahead of any of her siblings on crawling so I don't even know how to handle this. Even though she's just a tiny thing, it can be exhausting to hold her because she wriggles around so much.
  

Her first time in the cart at Costco. She kept spinning around and trying to snatch things out of the cart. But Eliza, second in command, wasn't going to let that happen. By the way, Costco by yourself with five children is exhausting as it sounds. 

• She started to get a little wary of strangers just in time for us to go out and be with family. 

She usually was ok when I wasn't around, and my sisters were able to trick her into thinking they were me a few times. Also, my dad never has a more sincere smile than when he is with one of his grandchildren. 

• She went on yet another long road trip and did amazing once again. She doesn't like it once it's dark, but other than that she did great. 
  

This girl is full of personality and brings all of us so much joy.
