9 months

My sweet little C you are nine months old (officially last Saturday)!  You are such a precious little spirit.  You are such a momma's girl.  Your big brother and big sister were total daddy's kids but you are more attached to momma.  I don't mid a bit though and you know it.  As soon as I walk in the door from work, even if I see you before I walk through the door and you are fine, you start that pouty lip and crying game.  Of course I'm wrapped so I pick you straight up and it's magic....the off switch!  You are eating a good bit of baby foods now, yet you will not feed yourself at all.  Trust me I have tried a lot even putting it in your mouth for you and putting it in your hand then "helping" you put it in your mouth; however you prefer for me to do it for you all the time.  Again, of course I do it because you are so dang cute.  You have the most beautiful smile but you are very good at keeping a straight face.  You do not give up a smile that easy and make people, whoever they may be, work for every inch of it.  You have moved up to size 3 diapers only because size 2 are squeezing those chunky thighs.  The 3s are still a little big on you , but what's a girl to do?  You are - for the most part - a pretty good sleeper.  You are still in our room because you keep big sis up at night, or rather she keeps you up trying to talk and play.  She can.not.wait for you to share her bed and have you with her all.the.time!!!  You are begining to get such a personality.  Your disposition is wonderful.  You are so use to "going with the flow" from baseball to gymnastics, you are happy just to be with the family.

We love you so much baby C.  I cannot believe it has been 9 months since you made your debut into our family.  We wouldn't be us without you!
