My first sign

I am so proud and excited. Hailee signed her first word on Thursday.
It was the sign for DOG! Yes, it is pretty simple-all you do is pat your leg. But she really does it and she does it on purpose. I pulled out a stuffed animal dog that she had never seen before and she started slapping her leg. I thought she was just getting excited about a new toy and left it at that. When Heath got home for work I was gone and he saw the dog and showed it to Hailee and she started signing dog. Then when I got home that night I asked her "Where is the dog?" and she started signing dog. On Friday I took her to a babysitters house that has a dog and she started signing dog when she saw their dog too!
However, it seems to be like her rolling over phase where she forgot how to do it for awhile-because on Saturday she wouldn't really do it for Grandma=(
BUT I do have in on video camera-so I have proof. I just don't know how to get that on my blog right now.

Also, she had her 9 month appointment today (a little early) but here are the stats:
19.1 lbs--50%-weight
28 1/4 inches 75%-length
44 ( i think) 50%--head

No teeth. Trying to walk, trying even less to crawl-but she does try on her hand and feet.
Loves cheerios and mom. She has been very clingy lately-the whole seperation anxiety thing. It should make my off track experience fun-I'll never get anything done with the way she holds on to me and cries (screams murder) if I walk 3 ft away!
She is still so much fun to have around and it is amazing how much she changes everyday. I love her so much!
Even with the seperation anxiety, I am SO excited to go off track!
