9 months old!

Our girl is nine months old (9 1/2 as I write this)!  Only 3 more months until her first birthday- whoa!  Initial party planning has begun, thanks to my addiction to Pinterest :)  I've learned that I need to self edit or else I risk Brinn's party to end up looking like a big fat obnoxious pink wedding explosion.  Hopefully it will turn out tasteful...

Anyway, updates... Brinn had her 9 month check up, and here are her new stats:
Weight: 20lbs 11.5oz (80%)
Length: 28 3/4" (90%)
Head: 17 1/4" (50%)
Our pediatrician was again happy with Brinn's development and growth.  Brinn smiled and laughed the whole appointment until it was vaccination time; then she gave the nurse a death stare. 
Brinn is a very fast crawler now and is starting to cruise (walk while holding onto furniture).  She's pretty good at the side step, but hasn't yet figured out how to steadily step forward.  We're in no rush :)

Its been a warm winter, so we've spent a lot of time at the park by our neighborhood.  Brinn loves the swings and crawling around to meet older kids.  I've even had a little girl ask me if Brinn could play with her- so sweet!  Here's a little video at the park and some recent pictures:
