9 Months!


Sweet girl, you are NINE months old! I am amazed at how much you are growing and changing every day. I am so blessed to be by your side to witness everything. Being your Mommy is the BEST gift I have ever been given. Your Daddy and I ADORE you. We talk all the time about the places we are going to take you and how much fun we are going to have. We want to give you everything, little one.

What you have been doing this last month..

You grew three more teeth!! You now have 5 total! Three on the bottom and two on the top. I can see where a few more are trying to come in.
We are still have issues with you not sleeping through the night. Hopefully once these teeth come in, it will get better.
You are rocking on all fours and are REALLY close to crawling! I know it won’t be long.
You have started saying “Babababa”, but still haven’t said, “Dada”. We are hoping you will soon. I know someone who will be thrilled when you do! ;)
Your hair is getting so long. You won’t let me put bows or headbands on you anymore, so it constantly stays in your face. I’m hoping that is just a phase because I sure love to dress you up with bows! Your Daddy thinks I have a problem with buying too many bows. :) Don’t tell him, but he may be right…
You LOVE to be outdoors. We bought you a little swimming pool to splash in and you have so much fun in it!
We have been planning your birthday (which is only 3 months away…wow) for a while now. I can’t wait to celebrate your life! Not just on your birthday, but every day that God gives me with you.
You love to zoom around in your baby walker now! Ty and Macie really have to watch out for you, because you tend to run into them when you get to going!
You now weigh 15 lbs 5 oz. You are my tiny girl!
We have started to experiment with solids, which scares and excites me at the same time. You really love to feed yourself and sometimes won’t let me feed your purees at all!
You still nurse every 4 hours and eat 3 “meals” a day. We are planning to wean you when you are a year old (since you absolutely REFUSE a bottle).

I look forward to each day with you, baby girl. You have brought more joy and laughter to our home than I could possibly put into words! I hope you can feel how much you are loved.

  1. Good gosh she is precious...isn't it crazy how dramatically they change your world? I did a lot of dreaming about it but the reality is so much different and better! I know you posted this when she was 9 months and, clearly, she's grown since then but we've just reached the 9 month mark and LC has gotten such a personality lately. I absolutely love this age and just know its going to keep getting better!

    I stopped by to thank you for the comment you left a while back about "aftershocks". I've had it flagged in my email for way too long meaning to touch base and tell you how much I appreciate you letting me know it affected you positively. That's such a great thing to hear...sometimes I feel like I'm just talking to air and its nice to hear differently! :-)
