Month nine has come and gone and mama has been the worst at putting this together. Has with every month this one has been equally busy and equally different. I find myself smelling your sweet baby scent as it becomes fainter. I hold you nightly after you have fallen asleep staring at your sweet tiny face. This month I feel that we said goodbye to my baby baby and began welcoming our soon to be toddler. Your personality has come out in force, you know what you want and will do whatever it takes to get it. You are determined and strong willed, both qualities that I know will take you far in the future. I miss my baby baby but love playing with my new toddler girl.
This month was a huge month for mobility. We went from not really being able to move at all to moving constantly. On July 25th you began trying to army crawl and can successfully get yourself from one place to another. On Friday, July 28th you discovered how to sit yourself up from laying down. I love watching you problem solve and discover new ways of getting what you want. You also pulled yourself up on August 3rd, and now never want to sit down. You have a pushing walker toy that you love to stand with, though you haven't figured out how to make it move yet. Daddy built you a pull up bar down stairs and you love to play with it! You're babbling constantly and always have a story to share. You are busy, constantly looking every which way and seeing what you can get into. I love seeing your world expand and grow!
You played with your cousins for the first real time, though you have met them before when you were very first born! We celebrated your inside outside day this month, it is still so crazy to think I have loved you on the outside as long as I loved you inside. Tammy and Jade made the trip up to see you and spend some wonderful time with you, and you even had one special surprise visit from Aunt Katie. We flew home from Cincinnati this month and then were home for three of the four weeks, which was great for you to grow and learn in your own home. We went down to Albuquerque the last week prior to you turning nine months to handle a few things at the VA down there and you of course were loved on the entire time. You met your Great Grandma and Grandpa Heronimus and were able to spend much needed time with the rest of mama's family. You were even asked to be Aunt Becca's flower girl, fingers crossed you can figure it out! We love you angel girl and are beyond blessed to call you ours!
Love always,
Momma
