9 Months Old!

Maybe I'm odd (or maybe that is a whole different post) but the 9 month mark has always been significant to me. Adeline has officially been in the world for an amount of time equal to that that she was in utero. And to me, that's pretty darned special.

Our little girl is HAPPY. She's so full of giggles. she'll laugh at anything. Da-da saying "toot", Mommy sorting laundry, nothing is out of bounds for giggles. She's said Ma-ma and Da-da, but she REFUSES to say either on command. And usually not when the parent she's asking for is in the room. Adeline pulls up on EVERYTHING and is starting to attempt standing on her own, though she has no interest in walking. Any time I try to help her walk she looks like a marionette puppet. She's finally down to two naps a day, so she and I can now go out and about a little bit more during our days. In this heat, we like to go walk the mall. Now that it's hot we also go swimming a lot! (sorry no pictures since Mommy does NOT want pictures of herself in a swim suit on the internet) She LOVES it! She likes to stand in the shallow water on the steps, and "floating" on her back is big fun as well.

It's getting more and more difficult to get these monthly pictures since she can not hold still, but I'm determined!
