9 Months Old

WOW!  I cannot believe that my baby love is 9 months old already.  SLOW DOWN, SLOW DOWN!!  Well Emily we were quite busy this month.  Let's review.

• You now have 5 teeth.
• You have climbed onto the dishwasher door and stood up attempting to help unload it.
• You have climbed onto and over any and all baracades the kids have tried to create to keep you in or out of a room.
• You are standing more now unsupported.
• You think it's funny to bite, not bite to bite, but it's more like knawing due to teething.  Either way it hurts and you find it funny.
• You give the BEST open mouth kisses.
• You are very attached to mommy, but are really starting to snuggle up to daddy more and more.
• Mommy left you for the first time with daddy and sissy for 3 hrs so I could get my hair done.
• Mommy and daddy also had our first date this month.  We went to dinner and you stayed with Grammy, Pops and Sissy.
• We went on our first family camping trip and it was your first camping trip period!  You were so awesome!!  You loved riding in the boat.
• You swung in the swings at the park for the first time and you thought that was just a blast!
• You are such a snuggle bug and we love every minute of it.
• You tried avacados and mushrooms for the first time this month and you like them.
• You clap your hands.
• You started waving.  You are the cutest!  You do the open and close hand wave with your left hand and your beauty queen wave with your right hand.
• You also moved into your "big" car seat this month.  You love it!

I know I say this every month, but that's only because it's true.  You are such a blessing and a true joy to have as a part of our family.  We love you so much Peanut.  You are the most beautiful baby and you hold all of our hearts in your little hand.  You couldn't be any more perfect!!
