9 Months!

To my beautiful girl on your ninth month of life,
You remain the best child that anyone could ask for. I am so glad that you are our child and love us the way that you do. You like to give momma lots of kisses, daddy not so much. Daddy is keeping you today and I hear you have been giving him kisses. I don't believe it though! :) You are no longer the night owl you once were, you go to bed around 8 pm now but you are still a late riser. You get angry if we get you up before you are ready which is nearly every morning since you like to sleep until 9 or later. You have decided you no longer want to army crawl but now you crawl the "correct" way. You know the places in the house that you are supposed to be playing in and the ones are you are not allowed in. You always go for the off limit places and turn your head around to see if we are following, when you see that we are you kick it back into army crawl and take off giggling the whole way. You laugh all the time and at everything, just like your daddy. This month you noticed the sky, the wind and the stars. You just starred for a long time trying to figure out clouds. We have had such a good time with you over these past months, you participated in your first sporting event, a 5k walk/run. We pulled you in your wagon, you slept most of the way and still finished first in your age group. Dadda says that is a good start to a successful track career. For the part of the walk you were awake for you enjoyed the dogs and seeing the horses more than anything. You still are a big animal lover and love to wave at Kate and chase the cats. Still not walking, I know its early but you get so close. You want to walk but you grab our hands and make sure that we are holding both of yours before you will go. You get so angry if we only are holding one. You are developing a temper btw, I am not sure where that came from. You can still only really say three words, momma, dadda and hey. It is so fun to watch you answer your cell phone and say "hey." You have such a pleasant personality, you love people and love all the attention people give you. I have so much fun being your momma. We are going for a well baby visit today, you aren't getting any shots though. I am eager to see how much you weigh and how long you are. You are such a good healthy funny little girl. I'm so glad to have you. We love you!

-MOMMA!
