Annabelle, you are nine months old today!
Here is what you have been up to lately...
- You are on the move every minute. You can disappear from a room in seconds. We can hold you and walk around forever, but you don't want to sit and snuggle unless you have a bottle. I had no idea that would happen so quickly. You want to explore (put in your mouth) everything you can get your hands on these days.
- You laugh all of the time. When you get really excited it comes out as an adorable open-mouthed pant, usually followed by a screech. Things that make you really excited each day: daddy coming home, your dolls and stuffed animals, our dogs, mama picking you up, yogurt, remote controls, my car keys, and your bath tub.
- You think that you can walk. You cannot. I think you may learn the truth the hard way a number of times in the next several weeks. You are constantly letting go with both hands now - a little bit too brave for those wobbly little legs.
- We get you up each morning around 5:45 or 6 to get ready for the day. You go to sleep at 5:45 or 6 each evening because you can't keep your eyes open for one more second. You do not sleep much at daycare. Some nights you sleep all night, but most nights you need a little mama/daddy love around 4 am.
- You have been feeding yourself more often lately with more food making it into your mouth.
- You cried and reached for me today when I dropped you off. My heart broke.
- You have discovered cabinets and drawers. Fun for everyone! You also love to stand at the sliding door watching the dogs play outside.
- You have your 9 month appointment. tomorrow so we will find out how much you have grown!
- Almost every night as we get into bed, we find something of yours left there from our playtime and bath time...a shoe, your dolly, etc. I love that. It just delights me to find little signs after you are sleeping each night.
You have filled our home and our hearts...we love you to pieces.
