9 Months

Sweet girl,

You are 9 months old... how is this?! You are such a good baby! At seven and eight months you were a little feisty, but you are back to your sweet old self! I know you will go through spells but I am LOVING your personality right now! You are finally mobile but only because you have mastered scooting! You love to play with a pile of clothes, books, toys, and any puppy! You love your johnny jumper and are a little flirt! You are particularly crazy about Nic Moon (Nickey Mouse as we call him!) and you started saying Jay the other day during the sermon when Jason was preaching. It was precious. We are working on Ava or AC and Smelly (for Melanie Siebert- one of our babysitters!) You have gotten a little attached to Mommy but are fine with others holding you if I stay nearby. If I walk away you get upset for a second but quickly get over it. You still stay at Nona and Poppy's a couple nights a week and LOVE staying with Daddy Boy during the day if Nona has to work. The other day he said you were playing on the bed and staying up while holding on to him, but you let go, clapped your hands twice, and then held on to him again. Every time I pick you up in the afternoon, he tells me how today was his favorite day and what you did new. There seems to be something new just about every day right now! You recently started calling other dogs Tipin. We eat yogurt at dinner time with some sort of pasta. I can't let you see the yogurt or you won't eat your lasagna! Silly girl, you might be a wee bit spoiled! It seems to keep your tummy full because you eat dinner at 8:30 and dont want a bottle until about 6 AM! However, you still wake up a couple of times for a paci and us to turn you on your side. You love to drink out of a sippy cup with a straw! I can't believe you like drinking out of a straw, but you don't even make too big of a mess. Your favorite drink is water! I love you so much and can't get enough of your hugs and kisses! Love, Mommy
