Growing Baby

9 Months Young


Our little schnookems has turned 9 months old. Wow! She's thankfully doing the things the Dr. was hoping she would be doing at this time: crawling, picking up cheerios with her index finger and thumb, having separation anxiety a little bit, & sitting up well. She's also saying "mama" a lot, and pulls herself to standing :) She crawled up all of the stairs the other day (over a dozen). I was behind her, thankfully. She went from 2 steps to all 14 in 3 days.

Stats...she weighs 19 lbs., 28 inches long. When she was born she weight 7 1/2 lbs., 19 inches long. that means she's doubled in weight and grown almost 10 inches! Wow! I'm thankful she has, though!

I've posted a bunch of pictures. Hope it's not too many.

P.S. Happy Independence Day! We're all so grateful for the freedoms we have the privilage of enjoying. Hope you all have a great one :)


Oh my goodness. Profile to die for!


Kisses for Mommy. I kiss this little one like 1,000 xs/day!


Baby Kate trying to grab the camera lense. She loves that thing!



Big girl! She loves to hang out at the subwoofer.



Cheese! Since she's been able to do this, baby-proofing means something new. Coffee table is no longer a place to put anything fragile or full of juice!



Zoo time! That cute giraffe is looking our way! Kate wasn't in the mood to look at the camera.



Check these wolves out! The one on the left is Jacob.



Jacob, it's over. Just forget those days at the "res". It's in the past.


My Momma gave this to Kate. It's her little swim suite. So cute! We have a little denim hat to top it off. LOVE it!


Waking up from her nap! Probably the single most eg0-boosting thing of my day (b/c she's so dang excited! )


Story time with Daddy!



My Grammy's 96th Birthday! Happy Birthday Grandma! You are a wonderful person. We love you sooo much and admire your strength!

Video of Baby Kate Waking up from a Nap. I love this!

She is such a beauty, this age is so fun and so so busy! It was so good to see Greg at Grandma Gunnell's funeral and I am looking forward to meeting Kate and seeing you all again next summer.

Oh, she is super duper cute! I just can't get over her beautiful eyes!!! Miss you girlie!

Mindy said...

She is the cutest! I'm so glad I got to meet her. Not only is she beautiful, but I can tell she is so, so sweet. Such a great baby!

And you are so lucky that she wakes up from naps so happy! My kids mostly wake up super grumpy, so when I hear that they are awake it is the worst part of my day. :(

I can't believe she's pulling herself up already. She's super smart! I too LOVE when they wake up from a nap super happy.

Fun video! Why is she in the porta crib when there is a crib in her room? Does she sleep better in it?

What a cutie! I am definitely seeing her momma in that cute face.

That is one of things I will miss the most when I don't have a baby in the house anymore, the huge smile and enormous joy they exude when you go to get them up from their naps (or in the morning). It is THE BEST and makes my day! She is so cute. Oh and I loved the wolfy Jacob comments! hahah!
