How is that you have now been outside my belly as long as you were in? Everyone always says kids grow up so fast but you never realize it until you have your own. You have gained so much independence over the last month. Since taking off with crawling you are very busy exploring every inch of our house. You are a speed demon up and down the hall.
You did the sweetest thing the other night... Daddy came inside from mowing, rubbed the top of your head as he walked past you to the bathroom, he shut the door and jumped in the shower. Little did he know you were following him, so you sat on the floor outside the bathroom door. You put both hands up on the door and stuck your fingers underneath in attempt to get in. But then it occurred to you that through our bedroom was another door to the bathroom... so you were off. I followed you as you made your way down the hall, through our bedroom, through the other bathroom, and finally into the bathroom where Daddy was. You sat down and waited.
You are pulling up everywhere and getting your little hands on anything you can! You "talk" to me and to yourself all day long. When you really start to form words, we are never going to be able to get you to stay quiet. You are such a happy baby all the time! Well, except when you are teething. It's so disappointing that teething robs me of my sweet little girl!
You actually turned 9 months old while we were down in Tyler for a week. You got to spend some time with your 2 cousins Addison and Case. You weren't too fond of Case since he accidentally smacked you in the face out of excitement when he saw you (last time you saw him, he rubbed your butt!). You are a much more reserved baby. You enjoyed playing with Case when he was a safe distance from you..
You are still a skinny little thing. You wear mostly 9 month size clothes, but even 6 month is too big around your little waist. Your hair is growing longer, and lots of people say "is there red in her hair?" We aren't really sure where the red comes from, but there seems to be a tiny bit mixed in with the blonde. We are still doing good with nursing (for the most part). Just when I thought I you had quit biting me, you surprised with 2 bites yesterday with one drawing blood. OUCH!
You are still doing good with sleeping in your crib every night. It's almost impossible to let you sleep in the bed with us because you are a bed hog. You fell asleep in our bed the other night and when I woke up around 1am you were horizontal in between me and Daddy and he was barely on the edge of the bed. He picked you up and moved you to your crib so everyone could sleep comfortably.
One of your most FAVORITE things to do is climb in and out of your car seat. You love to play with the straps and buckles. These pictures make me laugh because you have your overalls on and it looks like you are working on the car seat.
Then there are these pictures...
The last nine months have been a whirlwind, but I wouldn't trade them for anything!
Love,
Momma
