9 Months

I can't believe our little girl is already nine months old! To say that the last nine months have flown by would be an understatement. I'm so happy we were blessed with such a wonderful child. She is so independent but loves to spend time with her mommy and daddy. She has the most amazing personality, and has already learned how to show that she knows when she is doing something wrong.

She LOVES the fireplace. I'm pretty sure it's a combination of the way the tile around it sounds compared to the carpet and the sound her fingers make on the screen. At the same time, she knows she isn't supposed to play there. The other day I walked toward her in a "you know you shouldn't be doing that tone" and she looked up, smiled at me, and crawled away so fast, she may have gotten rug burn. She's so cute, it's hard to be mad at her.

She also loves her pets... She loves to help the dogs corral the cat, but at the same time she loves to pet Toby and her eyes light up when he comes in the room. The girls love her just the same, they would do anything for her and in turn, let her do anything to them.

The older and more mobile she gets, the more we make adaptations to the house. The den is now the computer room/office/toy room/changing room/anyotherpurposeyoucanthinkof room, but it works for us!

I can't wait for spring, playing outside, camping, racing, celebrating Addison's first birthday and continuing to grow as our little family of three.

For now, enjoy a few of her nine month photos. She looks sooo grown up.
