You are 9 months old!
You are so beautiful, our lovely daughter. Each day I think you become more beautiful and more lovely than the day before. Your smile melts our hearts and your laugh is the best sound in the world. You have discovered your very loud voice this month and I love it! You love to be in a room with an echo (like a bathroom) and make funny noises that echo back at you. You think this is one of the best things ever.
I am truely amazed at how much you have changed in the last month (yes, I say this every month). You sit up all the time now and you love to play with your toys in the pack n play. We feel comfortable leaving you in there to play because you can't roll away and it is very padded. You love to clap and sing along to songs and you love your dance parties at Laura's house. Sometimes when you are in the pack n play or your crib, you sit up and press your face against the mesh or bars and eyeball us until we come pick you up. It's mostly in the morning or after a nap. It makes your dad and I laugh a lot.
You almost always wake up happy and sing or talk until we come get you. We love listening to you in the morning and you talk in your crib and sound so very happy.
Dad took you for your 9 month appointment on Tuesday. You got a flu shot and met your new doctor (your first doctor changed offices). You weighed 17 pounds and 6 ounces at your appointment and you were 27.36 inches long (we think they were a little off on the height). You don't go back to the doctor until you turn 1!
This past month you started eating bananas (or trying too, they are very slippery and you might have actually had 2 bites from about 5 or 6 bananas). You also had yogurt, cherrios, and other gerber finger foods.
You also feed yourself a bottle! This is so fantastic and your dad and I are so happy you can do this!
You take 2 naps a day, one in the morning (about 1-1 1/2 hours) and one in the afternoon (about 2 hours).
You celebrated your first Halloween this month and went to Butler's Orchard to get your first pumpkin.
This month you made your first trip to South Carolina and met Mollie, Paul, Emmie, and Ellie. You also saw your fabulous Fairy Godmother Stacy again!
You also helped me celebrate my 31st birthday! It made me so happy to have breakfast with you on my birthday and spend the evening with you and dad.
Elizabeth. We love you. So, very much. Stay sweet our wonderful girl.
Love,
Mom & Dad
