We've got nine months down in the books. It is amazing how much you have changed in the last couple of months! My little baby is fading, but I love this sweet girl who is growing! Now I need to go home and sneak in some snuggles while I still can!
Eating- Your newest love this month is Cheerios. The floors at our house should be proof....those little landmines are everywhere! You still love most foods (you protested all things green for a couple weeks), and are still nursing great. I am still limiting dairy for the most part.
Likes- You love to stand! You pull up on everything, and bang your hands down to let us know how excited you are! If Lyle is in the backyard, you will stand at the glass door talking and hitting the door in the most excited way. You also love to dance. Whenever music starts playing you will bounce up and down, and do this little shake back and forth with your head. You love to be tickled and you also think that mama blowing her nose is the funniest thing!
Milestones- You crawl like a normal baby now and can stand up and walk along furniture. You will get into a tripod position in the middle of the floor thinking you can stand up, but haven't gotten there yet. Your top middle teeth are in (with a pretty cute gap in between them), and the ones on either side have come through. I can feel a corner of another tooth on the bottom that has broken the skin. We are trying to teach you the sign language signs for "more" and "all done." Most of the time if you want more food you just shriek and bang your hands on your tray, but occasionally with prompting you will do the sign for more.
Fun Firsts- We took a trip to the Sedgwick County Zoo this month, and also a trip up to Kansas City to visit your new cousin!
Another not fun first included coming down with pneumonia and spending a night in the hospital. Booooo...
Lyle Update: Lyle can still make you laugh better than anyone! Once he starts laughing about something, you giggle like crazy too! You love to get your hands on everything, including all of his toys. I'm sure it will forever be a process, but usually he is more concerned about you being safe or putting things in your mouth, than he is mad about you having his toy.
Happy 9 month birthday! Life is so great because of you!
I can hardly believe that our beautiful little Aria is 9 months old!!! She is such a blessing to her Papa and me! Love her spirit!
