9 months old!

She weighs 19.38 lbs and is in the 58.18%
She is 28" long and is the 62.87%
She in the 90% for her head.
She is my little roley poley now.
She generally sleeps on her side, face and tummy.
She has learned to roll to the other side of her crib (180 degrees), so I continually find her different places than when I left.
She takes 2-3 naps still.
She wakes up at 4 or 5 if she goes to bed past 8:30.
She'll sleep til 8:00 if she goes to bed at 7:30.
She can say da-da, ba-ba, a version of all done, bye-bye (but it sounds more bu-bu), na-na (no idea what she means by that), hi and ni-ni (for night-night).
She has been on 14 plane rides and to 5 states (UT, CO, ID, CA, HI).
She HATES her carseat, we'll be getting her a new one soon!
She pulls herself up on stuff.
She will walk when you hold her hands.
She LOVES anything technical (cell phones, remotes, etc), jewelry and little boys.  I'M IN TROUBLE!
She does "SO BIG!" on her own, as well as peek-a-boo.
She loves doing patty-cake.
She is afraid of Uncle Chris, Grandpa GG and occasionally Uncle Na-Na.
She prefers Mom over Dad. 
She prefers Mom to cuddle her when she's hurt or sad.
She eats solids at least twice a day. 
She LOVES mac-n-cheese and french fries.
She HATES peas.
She LOVES being read to.
She HATES being restrained.
Her hair is long enough to do pigtails now!
She can click her tongue and also growl.
She is learning how to do the "evil laugh".
She is a VERY happy baby compared to most.
She LOVES Grandpa Willardsen.

Thanks for the update!! Can you believe that Mercedes actually weighs less than Brookie now but is a little taller? It was just the opposite when they were tiny! Our little girls are growing up! She is just beautiful and I love the pig tails!!

You have got to be kidding me that picture is so CUTE- the first one of the two of you with that little red thing on her head! I can't believe how cute that is! She looks just like a perfect little doll. And congrats on the 3rd tooth. :) I want to see a picture of that.
