9 Months Old...

What an amazing journey to watch my daughter grow and learn. I can't believe that she is 9 months old, she will be one year old in 3 short months. Wow.

She is exploring more every day. She is crawling like a crazy person. She pulls herself up to everything, but hasn't started taking any steps yet. She pushes the limit of things she can touch and play with all the time. Her new discovery is the dvd player and cable box. 'NO' is the word we use a lot. She seems to know what it means already.

She has discovered food. LOVES food. We feed her the usual baby stuff including puffs (which is crack for babies in my opinion). We also give her bites and nibbles from food we are eating. She loves french fries, fruit including bananas, watermelon, blueberries. Loves vegetables. Noodles of any kind are also a favorite.

Mickey Mouse seems to be the new favorite on TV. Hotdog dance always grabs her attention and gets her moving.

Her sister Haley and brother Tyler were here for 3 weeks of the summer so far. They will be back again in a week for the rest of the summer. Right now she is missing them. Adjusting to having them not here has been rough on her. She loves her siblings.

Here are the names she goes by, besides Grace...
Gracie
Gracie Lou
Grace Marie (when she is in trouble)
Squidbert
Sweet knees
Sweetie
Biscuit

I love you Gracie.
