9 months old....

Well, I am a day late, but wanted to do a post anyway to send a shout out to my little Love Bug who turned 9 months old yesterday. This month we had the arrival of two precious, little teeth that popped through. And let me tell you they are 'Oh so cute.' She has put them to good use too. She is now chowing down on some yummy cherrios (thanks to the nursery ladies for starting her on that!), puffs, noodles and even some mac-n-cheese ( Carla - its the Kraft kind in case you were wondering! Another one on our team! ;) ). I am so relieved that she has started eating at least some things! She will now eat baby food fruit, but she is still standing her ground when it comes to any other baby jar food...it just isn't going to happen, folks. Thats ok, we are just skipping right on to real food.

Here are some pics from the last month....



'If you look closely, you can see those pretty, white teeth"

I know its hard to tell in this pic, but her hair is starting to grow back in on that pretty, bald spot! yipee!

"Is it just me or does she look extremely squishy and edible in this pic?!?" Probably just me, but still a cute pic!:)

Kobe left his guitar out, and Kensi thought she would try her hand at it. "Hmmmm, i am sure there is a way to be able to get my mouth on this..."

"YIKES! She caught me!" (i just noticed the dirty diaper in the background...nice. :) ).
She is still just "scoochin & rollin." She has mastered the 'crawling stance' but then falls flat on her belly. Its a lot of weight to hold up, afterall! :) Maybe in month 10...

Also this month she has learned to wave and say bye bye. Its so cute and funny...she gets this serious look on her face and puts her hand way up and waves with her fingers going up and down. Whats even funnier is how entertaining it is for the four of us. We can just sit around for 30 minutes waving bye bye and having a great time. hahaha. Its the little accomplishments in life that bring such enjoyment. ;)

This precious girl continues to bring such joy and happiness to our family. I feel so overwhelmed with love and just feeling so blessed when I look at her. What an amazing journey it has been with all our kids. Sometimes its just hard to put words to how you feel. To be able to be a part of having a life form within you and experiencing birthing them into this world and watching them grow and become amazing, unique little people...it brings me to my knees in awe of God for allowing us to be a part of bringing life into this world. I am so thankful to the Lord for all of my children and for the awesome privilege and responsibility of raising them and getting to be a part of their life.
