Lilly Rose,
*warning: mama drama* I'm almost a little sad writing this post. You are growing WAY to fast & I just cannot believe how quickly this year is passing. Nine months old seemed SO far away when you were born. We prayed so long & hard to have such a sweet baby that I'm trying to savor each moment because we are not promised another blessing. With that in mind it makes me a little sad to see how quickly you've grown. I am, however, thankful that each moment in your tiny baby days that I have been able to stay at home and love on you every second.
On a happier note, I'm thrilled that you are a happy, healthy, sweet & funny baby girl who is growing into such a lively little person. This past month was by far my favorite! I might be saying this from here on out but it really was my favorite month by far. You are developing, learning, exploring and are such a joy to me!
Here's a little of what you were up to this past month:
-- Lilly, you love clapping hands and do this a lot lately. It's really sweet to see you so happy & sharing your joy.
-- You went on your first little vacation/road trip.
-- You seem to make new noises with your mouth and always have a new sound to share. You are a talker, for sure!
-- Eating is your favorite sport and you've gotten really good at picking up little snacks and feeding yourself.
-- Two teeth! You broke your first tooth on your 8 month birthday and broke your 2nd one a couple weeks later, your two bottom teeth are really cute. You are not fond of me trying to get a peak though as you like your mouth left alone (can't say I blame you).
-- Lilly Rose, you are mobile as of late! You're not crawling yet but can find yourself from one end of the room/couch to the next. We have to watch you carefully these days as you can bring yourself to a stand, grab everything in sight and wiggle your way to get what you want.
-- In public places you will smile at people but if they talk to you all of the sudden you become a little shy. Lately you will grab onto whoever is holding you (Daddy, Mama, Yaya) a little tighter in public if a stranger speaks to you but are sure to give them your biggest grin.
-- You really like: cheerios, sweet potato puffs, drinking from your sippy cup, outings with mama (usually Publix or Target), things with a tag on them so you can play with the tag, the remote control, shoes (you really love shoes - the word shoes, actual shoes and when we buy you shoes), naps in the swing, jumperoo time, singing with daddy, visiting Yaya at work, walks in the neighborhood, the weather report & sharing hugs and kisses (we love it, too!)
-- You really dislike: eating 10 minutes late (you are like clock-work with your meals), being held like a baby, stage 3 food - it's a texture thing, playing alone if you see your daddy in sight (you are a daddy's girl & want him near you when he's home).
It's been one fun month!
