It is that time again! You are 9 months old! To be honest with you this blog post almost didn't happen! It has been a crazy few weeks baby girl! It is funny to think you have spent as much time in the outside world as you did in my tummy. I LOVED being pregnant with you. You made me sick as a dog the first couple (read fifteen) weeks, but other than that it was smooth sailing. It was one of the happiest times of our lives but nothing is better than having you here in our arms.
Monkey girl you are so big. You are a crawling, pulling up machine. You are into everything and so curious about the world around you. You love to people watch. When we go out to eat we have hard time keeping you in your high chair because you are completely turned around hamming it up with who ever will pay you any attention. I hope you stay like this. Sweet, friendly, outgoing. You eat anything and everything. We do a mixture of baby food and real food. You have 6 or 7 teeth! Your little smile is adorable.
You love to talk and are starting to make different sounds. Daddy calls them karate sounds. Somewhere along the way you lost "mama and dada" but we are practicing! You are still a fantastic sleeper. Two naps a day and sleeping all night. You sleep in your crib half the night and then get in bed with us. Your daddy and I both agree there is nothing better than waking up to you. As soon as your little eyes pop open you are rolling over so you can sit up. You lean your head on us and smile. You are seriously happy most of the time. We were at Aunt D's new job (Field and Stream) and she was walking around with you. We heard a baby screaming and the cashier asked us if it was you. I said "No ma'am, my baby doesn't cry!" We are so blessed to have you Tenley.
You are in a size 4 diaper and 9 month clothes. I have no idea on your weight and height but we go for your appointment Monday! Just a few days after that we will be going on your first beach trip! I hope you love the sand, but know, daddy HATES it! I'm sure he will suffer through it for you, sweet girl.
We got you a big girl car seat yesterday. I remember how tiny you were in your smaller car seat. Time sure is flying and I am treasuring ever single day. It's hard to believe we are three fourths of the way done with your first year. You make us complete and I'm so glad you are ours. We got the best little girl out of the whole bunch.
Love you more than you know Tenley Hope!
"Yall want me to sit still for a picture? Are you nuts!?"
Can we try sitting with Daddy?
"umm. no."
Mommy and Daddy outsmart the baby and give her her favorite thing to pull up on.
