When I wake her up in the morning, I love opening the door to her nursery and smelling the room. The room smells like her. And then I pick her up in her sleep sack, and I smell her. Sometimes, when I'm cleaning up her room while she's playing out in the living room, I'll smell her sleep sack. I think it has the sweetest baby smell. I'm a little bit addicted.
Baby girl has the sweetest, silliest smile!
She amazes me! At 9 months, she knows her first word, "at" or cat. Every time Sophia, our cat, comes into the room, she smiles and says, "at!" But then again, she also thinks all other babies that are smaller than her are cats. At playdates, she sees younger babies and says, "at!"
Whenever there is music playing in our home, which is often, she shakes her little groove thing! She loves dancing! She loves Taylor Swift's "Shake it Off" the most! If she's sitting when the music is playing, she still shakes her booty on the floor! Cracks me up! Baby also cruises around our couches and coffee table like a champion!
She just figured out how to play peek-a-boo by herself! While she's on the changing table, she grabs her pants and puts them over her face. When she takes them away from her face, I say, "Peek a boo!" and she cracks up!
Xinyi loves books. Daddy and I read to her all the time and she just loves it! She can't get enough! Where's Spot? is currently her favorite book. Pop-up books are a close runner up, though!
She's typically a very happy baby. But she does get upset when she's tired or needs a mommy recharge. Or when she gets food taken away from her. Then her little mouth turns into a sad square and she lets out a very loud cry! A quick scoop and some snuggles cheers her right up though!
Look at that square mouth!
Baby loves picking up finger foods! Puffs and mum mums, zucchini, chicken, tofu, strawberries, peaches, pieces of pita or bread or tortilla, rice, really anything! She loves her food, especially little licks of popsicles from daddy!
She's not too scared of strangers. We like that! She'll let almost anyone hold her, especially if she's chewing on a toy. And empty water bottles are one of her favorite toys. So silly :).
When she sleeps, she ends up in funny positions. I like to take pictures of her sleeping. It's one of my favorite things to do. She also loves having her head touch the corner or side of the crib when she's sleeping. I always find her head in a corner or next to the side of the crib when I check on the baby monitor. It's a silly thing, but so cute to me.

I can't believe how fast time has gone. She was just a squishy little face and now she's a tiny human, with her own wants, need and opinions! We love her so much. Our little baby is growing up! Soon she'll be walking and talking. But for now, I will enjoy her sweet intoxicating baby smell and her silly wide open smile! We love you baby girl!
