Month 9

Month 9 has been a fun one!  You are a busy little girl.  Being home with mommy and daddy is boring for you now.  You love to be active and around other babies so we signed you up for gymboree!  You are very serious at class as you can see..  It is so much fun to watch you explore new things.  Your love of other babies is only surpassed by your love of strangers.  We need to work on this.  I will try my hardest to make you smile and get nothing and then someone you dont know will say hi and you grin from ear to ear.  You are such a girl.




You cant get enough of Molly.  You follow her around the room with your eyes and try to give her kisses whenever you can get close enough.  She loves you too.  She is quick and doesnt let you catch her all that often but she is patient and lets you play with her.  She also loves that you are eating some finger foods now since you seem to drop a fair amount for her to gobble up.




The weather has been beautiful.  You love being outside.  Your daddy takes you for walks in the preserve just about everyday. We have been going to the park alot too.  You love the swings!

















 You hate the sun in your eyes, like most people so we got you babiators, you dont keep them on for very long.  You are more interested in eating them.


You are quite the celebrity at the Atria where Gram lives.  All the residents love you so much.  Gram gets so excited to see you.  She is forgetful of most things but she always remembers you!





You have started crawling.  Well kind of.. You moon crawl.  Haven't quite coordinated the forward motion yet so you have been backing into things and getting stuck in the furniture.  You think this is so funny.



In month 9 we had our first girls weekend in Asheville, North Carolina! You were so good on the plane (all 4 of them) Even with a 5 hour delay on the way home.  You didn't make a peep.  You loved meeting your cousins and exploring Asheville.  You were such a good girl the whole weekend!










Love my morning kisses..


You really love when Mimi sings to you.. especially "I've been working on the railroad" and "twinkle twinkle little star"


You are such a happy little girl.  We have so much fun with you and you make us smile and laugh every day..

















9 months has come and gone so quickly.  I love watching you grow but it scares me how quickly it all goes.  I want to hold on to every little moment.  

Things you love: Eating! We started snacks and foods with more texture this month. You love puffs, cheerios and mum mums.  We are working on using a cup and your favorite meal of the day seems to be breakfast.  The car.  Being out doing just about anything; park, beach, shopping etc.  Strangers!  Other babies, gymboree, Molly.  

Things you dont like: going to bed, getting dressed. 

You are a mommies girl lately.  Developing some separation anxiety.  You love to be held and you are always looking for me.  It makes me feel good that you love me so much but it breaks my heart when you cry for me.  

You are sitting, crawling backwards, rolling, saying Dada, you wave bye bye, clap your hands and you are very chatty and vocal. You have been a pretty good sleeper.  Waking up a bit more than usual some nights but over all we can't complain!  You have two teeth on the bottom.  And you are growing way too fast!
