{Happy 9 Months!!!}

Happy Birthday, Angel Baby! You have now been on the earth for as long as you were in my tummy - 9 months!! (...if you add 5 more days because you were so comfortable and didn't want to come out!)

We're still rocking the 3-6 month clothes, size 3 diapers, and 2 naps a day.

Went to the doctor last week for her 9 month check up and she's still tiny - 15 lbs 10 oz which puts her around the 12th percentile for weight. Tiny and consistent.

She still hasn't mastered crawling yet, but she's practicing all the time! And she's getting so close! She can scoot around a little bit, and frequently goes backwards. So there's movement, but not always in the intended direction. Practice makes perfect!

She loves to eat. She eats pretty much everything we do now, as long as her 5 teeth (yes, 5 teeth! We got a new one on the bottom right side and 2 more on the top should break through any moment) can break it down a little bit. She's a huge fan of strawberries and noodles.

She is still the most snuggly baby around. She loves to give kisses and hugs. I am currently sporting 2 little bite marks on my lips from some fierce kisses and her sharp stapler teeth. She also wanted to give another little boy at church some kisses and ended up leaving some teeth marks on his nose. Oops. She loves to love.

I love this little face - the straight line mouth. so cute. She's also began waving this last month and saying "MomMomMomMom" which just makes my heart into a puddle on the floor.

So close to crawling! She'll get up on all fours and rock and rock and then roll over.

Ha - not quite baby girl.

She loves to stand. LOVES to stand. I think she just wants to be like big sister. She hasn't started cruising yet, and I'm totally fine with that. After big sister started walking at 9.5 months, I'm completely fine with this little lady taking her time learning to crawl and walk. Yes, I will just snuggle you and carry you around (it helps that you're so tiny!). 

So happy to have this sweet little girl in our home! She is teaching us so much! love you, angel baby!
