9 months old and enjoying life!


That is right, Grace Marie is officially 9 months old today. It is so weird to say she is 9 months, and even weirder when people like to remind me that she will be 1 in 3 months- what!!!!

Even though we had a rough month in December, January is really looking up for Grace! Her favorite activities are playing with all of her Christmas toys (especially her music table), trying to walk from one of end of the couch to the other side (holding on, oh course), and rolling from one side of the room to the other! About a month ago she was having a really hard time with separation anxiety, and would throw a fit if Pat and I left her alone in a room. Now, she seems to barely notice we are there since she is so busy with everything else!

She is an eating machine, enjoys almost all veggies and fruits (not including peas!), has started eating pureed meats, and loves to snack on cheerios and puffs. She is a talker like her mom, and has started to wake us up in the middle of night with her constant babble that even goes on when her eyes are closed! Overall, she is a happy, healthy, and amazing little girl that Pat and I are so blessed to have in our life.

Since a post is not complete without a new video, I thought I would share a short clip of Grace crawling!!!



That is right, Grace decided that being 9 months old and not crawling was unacceptable, and decided to shock Pat and I tonight by making a couple long stretches across the floor- trying to chase the puppies oh course! After getting over my shock, I was able to grab the video camera and get a little bit on tape before she got too tired and cranky. What a fun way to end the day! Guess we better start baby proofing the house!

So cute! I am having a hard time with the "1 in 3 months" also! I can't get Addie to cruise, she just leans and falls over!

Does her ourfit say "Ballerina" on it? If so, Addie is wearing that today!
