9 months and mom is going crazy!

Wow! I can't believe Ainslee and I BOTH made it to her 9 month milestone! Each month of Ainslee's life, I have said: "Maybe next month she will magically turn into a content baby"......each month my dreams are crushed. This girl is as high maintenance as they come.

She wants to be held always, but hates being held......what the heck??!!
She hates getting her diaper changed and getting dressed
She whines and cries the second we walk away from her
We pretty much walk on egg shells around her so she doesn't cry.

WHATEVER AINSLEE WANTS, AINSLEE GETS. That is has been our motto for several months now.

She's not all frustrating though. She has a tiny sweet side that shows its face once in a while.

She sleeps pretty well, going to bed around 6:30 pm and waking once in the early morning to eat. She does wake up at 7:00 which is too early for me, but I manage. 
She is cruising around furniture and is always pulling herself up to stand.
She loves feeding herself and we really don't do much pureed food these days. She loves carbs just like her mom!
She has started climbing up the stairs.....and falling down the stairs :O
She gets so excited when we walk into her room after bedtime or naptime. She crawls back and forth in her crib like a crazy girl.
She doesn't have a bald spot anymore.
She wears size 3 diapers and size 9 months and 12 month clothes (as well as a few 6 month stragglers).
People say she looks like Avery
