++ 9 months! ++

We have reached the home stretch for the first year and my goodness how things have flown by. Because Brett was away with our camera, snapping photos in far away lands, I don't have quite as many pictures to commemorate the 9 month milestone as I would like, but I've put in a few here. Recent developments and activities:
  • Crawling like nobody's business and very steathy about it, too, I might add. Not so interested in pulling up to stand just yet, but up on her knees to get better views of what's going on.
  • Loves waving bye-bye, or really just waving in general. Does it with both hands at once.
  • Despite the slow start to solid foods, once she got the idea, she has decided that she loves to eat! This girl can pack away a 4oz container of plain yogurt, a small bowl of cereal and multiple handfuls of Cheerios, and that's just for breakfast! And she loves doing the feeding herself - not happy unless there's something on her tray that she can do herself.
  • Lots of babbling these days, in a very cute, conversational kind of way.
  • Loves watching anything and everything that big brother Larson is doing or saying.

Sitting pretty, showing off her growing hair, which now very nicely covers any evidence of a former bald spot.



I love this one: I think she's both talking to herself and concentrating really hard on playing the drums on my belly.
Likes:
  • The Bath! Not afraid of the water, this one. She keeps trying to get down to "mouth" the tub drain and doesn't seem to remember from the time before that she got merely a mouthful of water instead. It's pretty funny to watch and totally doesn't bother her in the least.
  • Eating, see above
  • The tupperware drawer in the kitchen. We pretty much have to wash our food containers before we use them, because they've been emptied out onto the floor a dozen or so times by Miss Cora on a nightly basis.
  • The cat. Squeals of delight any time there's a cat sighting.
