Nine Months

Hello sweet girl...

How can I accurately describe how much we love you?

Or how funny you are?

Or what a blessing you are to us?!

Words just can't do it justice. Everyone who has met you knows what I am talking about. You truly are a joy to be around and we are continually thankful for you. 

This last month you have grown by leaps and bounds! You are officially a crawling machine and you can pull yourself up on everything! You are a bit hesitant when it comes to getting down but you cruise along the couch just fine. They say it's just a matter of time before you're walking so we'll see. I'm ok if it doesn't happen soon :) Here are a few other milestones you've reached this month:

- "dada" is your new favorite word...you say it constantly much to Brian's delight :)

- you have FINALLY learned how to nap longer than 30 minutes!! yay! you average about 1.5-2hrs per nap

- you are even more curious about everything and like to follow us around the house just to see what we're doing

- started weaning yourself from nursing (so sad for mommy) down to just twice a day

- grown out of your 0-3 month clothing...you're firmly planted in the 6-9 month range :)

We're still waiting for some teeth to pop through but that doesn't seem to keep you from eating whatever you want! You're still our champion eater...your size deceives people until they see you chow down! Happy nine months, baby girl. May the next one be just as fun and exciting. We love you!
