Veronica Hits The Nine-Month Mark

Compare Julia (left) to Veronica, who is wearing the same outfit.

Veronica turned nine months old today and it's been awhile since we've provided a progress report. So here is where things stand, as of June 19, 2006:

She says "da" and "dad," but not "ma" or "mom."

She can wave "bye-bye" and "hi."

She has stood in place for as long as six seconds.

She prefers table food over baby food.

She does not like to go to bed at night.

She only nurses when nothing else is going on in the room.

Her favorite baby food is sweet potatoes and turkey.

She enjoys the swimming pool and being outside.
