Nine Months



 
 
 
 


My Sweet Eloise Jeanne,

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

Top 10 Tips for Flying with an Infant

Last week we spent the entire week in Cincinnati for the national veterans wheelchair games, which was probably one of the most incredible experiences of my life, but we will save that for a different post. We met great people, had wonderful conversation, and took our sweet girl on her first airplane ride. Being the crazy mom that I am, I stressed about the plane ride for far to long and made way to many mental notes on how to survive it. I asked everyone who had ever flown with a child what to do and received some great advice. My goal is to break it down into the top 10 things you "need" in order to survive flying with a baby! 1. Plastic Bags are Your Friend Prior to heading out to the airport I separated Ellie's diaper back with gallon size baggies. I had all her diapers and wipes packed in one, toys in another, and food in it's own. It made fast diaper changes before take off a breeze, as well as finding snacks in the air. Everything had its place an...

Eleven Months

Hello Eloise Jeanne,  Can you believe it, you are eleven months old. This month was different than the others because I knew exactly what we were doing a year ago. I remember celebrating you with our church family back home, I remember making the long drive to Albuquerque for the Balloon Fiesta and celebrating you at Aunt Becca's shower. I remember feeling as though I couldn't get any bigger and then I did. I remember counting each of your kicks to make sure you were growing just right. You were my best friend long before I met you and you captured my wold long before the world greeted you.  This month you seemed to truly embrace that crazy toddler side and nothing can stop our speed crawler. You know exactly where the dog food is and love to play in Chuck's water, chuck does not find it quite as amusing. You are love to smile, you are constantly smiling and waving at anyone and everyone. You figured out how to wave, the sweet little precious wave whe...
