9 months

August 20th, 2012

My gorgeous, fun little girl, you are already 9 months old!  Where does time go?  This month has been so extremely busy!  You,

-weigh 19 lbs (52 %)
- 29" long (77 %), head circumference - 18"(88 %)
- wearing size 3 diapers
- wear 9 month clothes (and some 6/9 month clothes)
- went on your first plane ride and did fantastic!
- are finally crawling!
- are pulling to stand up and I think are trying to walk!
- love going on bike rides!
- still love the water and practically crawl out of my lap into the bathtub!
- talk all of the time, especially saying "da da da da"!
- eat so much food!  Your favorites are sweet potatoes, squash, puffs, and your bottles!
- have a favorite toy, a McDonald's toy figurine of Ronald McDonald
- have a favorite book: My Little Princess (a recordable book from Grandma and Grandad)
- love your walker!
- absolutely adore your Daddy!
- got your FIRST TOOTH!  TODAY!  You bit Mommy's finger during a diaper change and there it was!

My dearest Kinley,
  We are completely smitten with you!  We could not be more happy with all of the awesome things you are doing!  You blow us away every single day that you do something new, which seems to be each day!  I think that your Daddy's heart skips a beat every time you yell out, "da da da da"!  I am still working on "Ma ma ma".  You are so alert and excited by everything going on and desperately want to be in the middle of the action!  When you're in your walker, you will follow us around just talking away, just to make sure we know you're there!  The dogs love you now and sit waiting underneath your high chair just waiting for you to hand feed them.  You give Dakota about 10 puffs each meal, making her very, very happy!  You are working on "in and out" activities, waving "bye-bye", and signing "all done".  Miss Amy has so much fun with you during the day!  She is constantly bragging on how well you do every day and how much she loves your smile!  Today, Mommy found your first tooth!  We were so excited that we did a happy dance all over the house!  We have waited a long time for that little bugger to break through!  Everyone you meet, you dazzle them with your beautiful gummy smile and your infectious giggle!  You have been such a joy this month and we love seeing your personality come through!  You can be shy and when you are, you cuddle in to whoever is holding you!  I love being that person!  You are our favorite part of our day and we look forward to each part of the day that we get to spend with you!  We love you so much little girl!

With all of our hearts,
Love, Mommy and Daddy
