Additional things Sage is doing at 9 months

Some things I left off the last entry on what Sage is doing at 9 months are: ~ She can return to sitting from crawling/sitting/laying on the floor positions. Also, she can now sit up in her crib and this is the position we find her in recent mornings. It is so cute to see her sitting up in the dark smiling at us from her crib. ~ Sage can do a full split! It is the funniest thing...she looks like a little gymnast. The other moms at Gymboree are amazed at the way she does a split, folds forward and takes off crawling. Then when she's ready to return to sitting she puts her legs out in a split and leans back to sitting. Future Olympian?????? ~ She can wave "bye bye". Her movement is not exact and she does not do it all the time but there are occassions where she waves. She especially does this during sign language class. ~ Sage mimics a lot of things we do...especially tapping our feet or hands on a hard surface. She loves to watch us hit the floor, couch or other area with our hands and feet. She will copy us with these movements. Sage is also very good at copying "raspberry" sounds with her tongue & mouth. If we make a "phhhhttttt" with our tongues, she does it right back.
