So yesterday Alana turned 9 months. Little report here:

• She started “creeping” (video here) in the last week (that’s the precursor to crawling; she’s not yet mastered bending her knees and propping her body up on them).
• She’s babbling more and more: mamama, bababa, dadada, gagaga, wuauaua, etc.
• She’s off breast milk and onto formula, plus various types of baby foods.
• She especially likes bread of all kinds.
• No teeth yet.
• On Mom’s advice, we just started the “let her cry” method to get her sleeping through the night. So far so good.
