I'm still not certain how we're already at NINE months! sigh. Nine months is full of sweetness and fun interactions... but, oh, those preciously fleeting newborn days are long gone somehow. But then again, we do sleep much better now.
::At nine months, little one, you are full of personality. You rise around 6, generally quite happy. And quite loud. I remember Maria waking and playing ever so quietly in her bed for quite some time. You, on the other hand, well, let's just say you hold very animated and full-volumed conversations with your friend in the mirror!
::You've sprouted two teeth! And they are really ever so adorable. I am sorry (for you and me) that it was quite a painful process for you. Oh happy teething days.
::You still love your baths ever so much.
::You're still on the go, on the climb, pulling up... into everything. Cabinets, baskets, closets. If you can fit a finger in, you will find a way to squeeze yourself in. And you always seem to give this knowing little look, especially if you're headed for an open bathroom door.
::And still, I remain ever so grateful at your love for swaddling. I no longer rock you all the way to sleep. (You had stopped laying contentedly in my arms and taken up holding little conversations or trying to 'sing' louder than me.) We sing and rock a bit, then I lay you down in your crib where you fall asleep on your own. It was a bit of a transition for me, but you don't seem to mind.
Just for giggles, here's what most of my photos end up looking like!
And it's always necessary to have a handy helper.
::Love you, baby Lila... even more so than last month.
