Growing Gormans: Week 39

Everything is "Umm." Lily will now look at something and say "Umm" or "Aumm." It's her new favorite word. She says "Mom" only when she's upset. Any other time I'm just "Umm" like everything else.
Lily is now crawling under and through things. Particularly Dan's and my legs (see the video below). She will actually make it a point to crawl under or through something if she sees an opportunity to do so.
Lily has gotten her 2nd tooth! It's right next to her 1st one on the bottom.
Lily turned 9 months old on Sunday, the 14th. I know I say this every month, but our baby girl is growing up so fast.
On Monday, the 15th, Lily had her 9 month checkup at the doctor's. She now weighs 20 pounds, 6 ounces, and is 28 inches tall. Yes, I am replacing "long" for "tall" with her height now. Since she can stand up I figured it was time. Lily dropped from the 97th percentile in weight to 56. She is 54th percentile in height, and 67th percentile in her head circumference.
Lily got her first flu shot Monday during her checkup. She did great. Only cried for a couple of seconds. Afterward, she passed out in the car and didn't even wake up when I took her out of her car seat to go into the stroller.
If I forgot to mention it last week, Lily is now in the regular car seat instead of the infant carrier. Still facing backwards though until she turns one. It was more roomy for her to be in the bigger seat when we went upstate and I decided I wasn't going to put the other one back in the car when we got back since it was a major pain to get it in. The only thing that sucks about having the regular car seat is that if Lily does fall asleep, there is a great chance that she will wake up when I take her out of the car. With the infant carrier, we could just leave her in it until she woke up, and move her anywhere we wanted. Oh well. We knew it wasn't going to last forever.
On Wednesday, the 17th, we started giving Lily snacks that she can pick up and eat herself. Yogurt melts, cheese doodle type looking things, wheel things that smell like maple syrup. Lily likes to eat them and gets extremely excited and happy. We're also starting her on meat, which she isn't too excited about.
On Thursday, the 18th, I brought Lily with me to my Lymphedema doctor's appointment. While waiting, an older woman kept saying that Lily was a boy. I kept correcting her, but she kept making the mistake. Her explanation of calling Lily a boy was - 1: "All baby clothes these days are the same for boys and girls." Lily was wearing a pink and yellow flowered shirt. 2: "Oh, I guess it's because of how short her hair is." Uh, DUH! She's a baby. Babies don't have long flowing hair at 9 months old you idiot!
