Lucy Kate- 9 months

*our computer that I use for all my photos is having some issues, which is why I haven't posted month 9 yet- I was waiting for pictures... but I decided if I don't get these on the blog it will never happen. So here is month 9 sans pics... month 10 is coming soon.*

Nine months... You're officially 3/4 of the way to being ONE. How did that even happen? I can't believe I'm already looking at first birthday ideas and thinking about planning your party. Crazy. But enough about being one- let's look at month 9.

You are quite the crawler and are into everything these days. You can make it across the room in no time. You've also started to cruise around the furniture and walk behind the little push toy that we have. I'm not ready for my baby girl to be walking!

Your favorite game to play is "chase." You love to be sitting on the floor and watch as John Mark or Daddy "sneak" up on you and then pretend to get you. You crawl to me and try to jump into my lap, while laughing and clapping the whole time. Then you turn around and wait for them to do it again. You love playing peek-a-boo and crawling around after John Mark. I love to see you two playing together. He loves you so very much. You couldn't have asked for a better big brother, that's for sure!

You are still such a good eater. So far you have tried everything I have given to you, and I can't think of anything you have refused. You definitely have your favorites- all fruit and carrots... and you definitely don't love corn (what can I say? You are your mother's daughter!) and broccoli. You still nurse around 5 times a day, but I can tell you are moving to only 4 times a day soon.

Sleep this past month hasn't been great. I think it's because you are working on getting all 4 of your top teeth at one time. You're up at least once a night, sometimes more. You're still taking great naps, so fortunately you haven't been too cranky during the day.

I love you so much my little goose. I'm so thankful for the sweet blessing you are to our family. I don't know what we ever did without you.

Forever, Mommy
