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!
