this one's for you.

baby girl, you are nine months old.  i have yet to do a monthly update on you.  forgive me, please?!  i'm guessing you'll be thirty when you read this or maybe you won't read this until after i'm dead and gone (and then you'll probably feel some sort of odd obligation to read my shenanigans).  i know you must be dying to know what you were up to over twenty nine years ago.  riiight?!  well, you're in luck.  

at nine months you are close to twenty-one pounds, and in the 97th percentile for your height and head circumference (you can thank daddy for the head).  i guess i make some mean milk!  : )  to put it simply, you have dimples on both sets of cheeks.  you are not crawling.  you roll over once in a while.  you scoot backwards everywhere.  you are prone to extremes, (i have no idea where that comes from! ha!), i.e. when you're mad you are a-n-g-r-y.   but you make up for it because when you're happy you're overjoyed.  your favorite thing to do is to take baths with your big brother (sounds gross, but don't fret, it's totally allowable for a few years at least).  you enjoy eating your spinach puffs way too much, but since it's spinach, don't feel too guilty.  your favorite fleece blanket brings you more comfort than i ever could (good thing i don't hold grudges).  your daddy is smitten by you.  just plain smitten.  i'm guessing you'll twist his arm a time or two.  

we love you... from the birthmark on your belly to your two teeth and toes, it's a beautiful gift to watch you grow.  

p.s. - on another note, please visit julie's blog.  pray for them and be encouraged by their unwavering faith in Christ.  my hubby and julie grew up in the same church and believe me, they are such a precious family!
