Happy 9 month birthday to our little Sweet Pea!! We are thrilled to have been a part of her life for nearly two months now. Thrilled to see her grow and change. Thrilled to see her bond with us. Thrilled to finally have that missing piece of our family. Even if we can't know for sure that she will get to stay with us, it's such a blessing to have her here now.
She is almost sitting up on her own now. She can sometimes sit for a minute or so unassisted before tipping over. This is a huge improvement from even a couple of weeks ago. She is rolling much more, but still gets frustrated feeling stuck once she's on her tummy even though she actually does know how to roll back. She is really reaching and grabbing purposefully much more now. We got her a new toy that you pull the flower to turn on the music and she figured out how to do it all on her own in just a day or two. Her little tooth is coming in more and more. Her personality is really starting to shine through. Last weekend Shannon was in a cook-off with his parents so he was in and out often for a couple of days. When she would see him walk in and not say anything to her, she would scream to get his attention. Our tiny, quiet little girl is getting quite a voice! She's still sticking her tongue out at everyone, like this is an appropriate greeting. It's so cute to see that little tongue with her big smile. She is loving books right now. My mom got her several new ones recently and she just loves to be read to. She really seems to look at the words like she's trying to figure them out. She discovered her feet recently and now loves to play with her little toes. She is sleeping through the night more and starting to nap less during the day.
It's like I don't want to miss or forget any little thing she does. She has changed so much since we've had her. I almost can't remember what she was really like at first. She's always been a joy for us and every day she works her way into our hearts more and more.
We love you Sweet Pea!
