Nine months....really?!










It is hard to believe that you have now been on this earth longer than you were growing inside me!  You are our sweet "baby doll" as Jack would say!  You just started to crawl on Thursday but have only done it a handful of times.  You think of doing it but then you end up crawling backwards and sit back on your bum.  You do have your way of getting around which consists of rolling, turning while sitting on your bum, crawling backwards, and rocking back and forth.  Before I know it you'll be crawling all over, pulling yourself up and learning to walk.  Babies just grow up way too fast! 

You are a very interesting girl when it comes to eating.  You don't care much for baby food and even finger foods you will move it around in your mouth for a bit and then spit it out.  I'm not sure if you just don't like it or you are still trying to figure out that whole eating thing.  You love to play with the sippy cup and spill it all over the place and then make a mess with it!  You still love nursing more than anything and you have started to bite me (ouch!)  You now have 5 teeth, three on the bottom and two on the top but are working on getting THREE more this very moment (two more on the top and one more on the bottom!

You just adore your brothers.....especially Sam ( I think because he plays with you more).  You watch daddy and the boys wrestle and you try to get in on the action.  You love to splash in the bathtub, you love to be held and have all the attention on you all of the time.  You love to blow raspberries, say mama and dada, squeal and "sing" to us.

You are defiantly a mamas girl as you would prefer me over anyone else.  You do just fine with daddy as long as I am not in the room but the second I walk in the room you start to cry and try to make you way over to me.  You love to cuddle with your mama and dada and give us lots of snuggles and cuddles.  We love those times you just cuddle into us and look into our eyes....especially your daddy.  He always tells you how cute you are  and how much he loves and adores you 

You are still a tiny little thing.........still wearing number two diapers and weighing in at a whopping 15  lbs!   You are becoming more and more aware, mobile, loud, beautiful, sweet, fun, and attached to your mama.  I am just going to love every second I have of you adoring me! Happy 9 months old "baby doll!"
