Nine Months

Today marks Emma's 9 month birthday! Can I just tell you that it seems like she was born just 9 days ago! Time goes by so quickly and we have enjoyed every single minute with our little doodlebug. She is a true joy...a perfect little sweetheart!
~Emma is a total ham! If you can't tell from the pictures, she loves the camera and loves people. Her favorite thing to do these days is wave and say "Hi!" She really loves children and gets so excited when she sees other kids!

~ She weighs 18 lbs. 6 oz. according to my scale at home. She is long and lean and is wearing 9 month clothing. We have just started pulling out the 12 months stuff and getting ready for cold weather! Isn't this outfit adorable!?! My mother-in-law made it! I think she should go into business!

~Emma loves to move. She is a crawlin' fool. She likes to do laps around the house. She also loves to crawl in the kitchen and look at her reflection in the dishwasher. She waves and screams at the little "baby" in the reflection.

~She loves to read! Daddy and Mommy read with her every night and she loves to listen to the bible stories from her Read and Share Bible. Her favorite book is Gallop! The pictures move as you turn the pages. So cool!

~ Emma is still a great sleeper. She sleeps 10 hours every night and takes two naps a day. Usually 1-2 hours each! Girl is just like her Mama!

~She started trying table food. So far she has had green beans, bread, crackers, rice, chicken, strawberries, bananas, and pretty much anything that I have on my plate. She thinks if I am eating, she better be eating too! She still loves her baby food and eats three good meals a day. She takes a morning and night bottle, but I am thinking of dropping it to just at night. We'll see!

~ She is wearing size 3 diapers.

~ She is a babble-machine. Her favorite words are Momma, Nana, Dadda, and (of course) Hi!

I fall deeper in love with her every day! She is an absolute joy. Our little miracle. Happy Birthday Sweetie!
