A lot has happened since the 8 month post. Jill now has 8 teeth. 4 on top and 4 on bottom. In the 2 days since I started typing this, she got her 7th and 8th, it's non-stop!
Jill has become very independent. That is the nice word for not wanting to eat anything but solids, not wanting me to pick her up, refusing her blankey, throwing things on the floor, banging on the walls while in her crib, and basically acting like she's going through the terrible 2's. And that's when I realize she's been teething. Always blame it on those darn teeth.
She is walking along with her little rolling toy, uses the high chair with wheels to walk with, and uses the kitchen stool to scoot along too. We have not been encouraging her to walk, especially since I apparently started walking at 7.5 months. But I guess she's figured the steps out on her own so the inevitble is in our near future I fear.
Jill has mastered going up the staircase, all the way to the top. And knows how to go down a few stairs on her belly, but much prefers to go up and stay up.
Height: 99th percentile
Weight: 43rd percentile
She now climbs all the way into the dishwasher. It's pretty much impossible to unload it now without her doing this.
Blackjack's toys are so fascinating to her.
Tantrum.
