9 months!

Where is the time going, sweet baby girl? Kate turned 9 months old last week. That means she has officially been alive outside of me as long as she was inside of me...crazy!

Just a few days before her 9 month birthday, she started crawling, and by the time her birthday rolled around, she was crawling like a maniac.  She is jumping in her exersaucer and loves to stand up (supported).  One of her favorite things to do is crawl over to the toy bin, pull it over, and pick through the toys until she finds one she likes.  Usually it's a pacifier (to chew on, not suck on) or her old empty vitamin bottle (she chews on the dropper end)...what a silly girl.  She has started to laugh more and gets really lively just before bed time.  She seems to love being outside and is still a big fan of water.  9 months is such a fun age!

Her monthly pictures are getting harder and harder to take because she really doesn't want to sit still and she really doesn't like to be on her back anymore.  But, we did our best:)

such a goofball!

the sweetest face in the world!
