Toilet paper girl

Yesterday Sienna had her 9 month well check. I know, she's already almost 10 months, but her doctor wasn't available until yesterday. It was not a fun appointment. She cried almost the entire time. For a minute she was acting like she wanted the doctor to hold her and then she decided that it wasn't what she wanted. Definitely stranger anxiety!
She said that Sienna was ahead of the game developmentally, she was surprised to hear that she's already standing and climbing-- we may have an early walker! I keep thinking that any day now she's going to take her first steps. She really seems like she wants to but loses confidence at the last minute. I don't want her babyhood to end yet, but I'm excited for the new adventures having a toddler brings.
She is 17 lbs 11oz, and 28 inches tall, so we get a little extra time before we have to buy a convertible car seat. She cried so much when she was on the scale, she even tried to jump out, it was crazy.

Later yesterday evening I started feeling sick. I think Eric brought something home from work because he was complaining about a sore throat and then I got it. I hope Sienna doesn't catch it because it could set off another ear infection. There is some leftover fluid in her right ear, but it is clear so we aren't treating it just yet.

You might be confused with the title of this blog post. Toilet paper girl? That sounds a little weird. I'll tell you what's weird. A baby with an obsession with toilet paper. She crawls in the bathroom, tears off some squares and eats it. Several times a day. Sometimes she goes in and unrolls the whole thing. Today I was doing dishes and she comes up to me with something white hanging out of her mouth, and lo and behold! A fat clump of toilet paper. I try and keep the bathroom doors closed, but I've been in and out a lot lately flushing fleas down the sink. I don't know why she likes to eat it, but she does. I don't think she's swallowed any yet, but you never know. As Eric says, I don't really want to know what kind of stuff she's eating when we're not looking.

Silly baby.

There are new pics uploaded to her gallery under 39th, 40th, and 41st week. Soon there will be videos as well, we just need to convert them to flash!

Tomorrow is a picnic potluck to celebrate the end of baby sign class in PB. Fun!
