9 Months

This sweet baby is now 9 months old... and, as you can tell by the struggle to get a non-blurry photo, she is BUSY!!

But oh so happy. She smiles and giggles all the time. In fact, I'm not really sure when she started laughing because she has just been a giggler for so long.

She has lots of new tricks. She learned to crawl. But it's this one that makes me the most nervous. She pulls up on everything but her balance is still not very good. Doesn't seem to bother her though. She'll pull up on anything.

A couple of weeks ago I pulled this picture of Brixton from about the same age. Everyone says they look just the same. They definitely resemble. His hair seemed to be much more blonde by now. I'm really not sure what color her hair is. It often seems red.

Speaking of hair. This girl has the most awful cowlick... it's like a full circle in the middle of her forehead and it loves to stick straight up.

Life's new challenge, getting these two to be still and look at the camera. Brixton seems to forget that he's the one who is big and should be able to control his crazies for a picture.

She's starting to love Elmo. It's sweet.

This month she had Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease. Thanks to the lovely sharing of germs at daycare she was covered in spots and had a fever for a couple of days. We actually did not know what it was until her fever was already gone.

Standing and crawling means it was time to lower the crib mattress.

And this is yet another attempt to get a picture of these two together. Someday this will be easier but I'm enjoying where we are.
