Happy Nine Months Birthday, Emmie!

Emmie!
From Monthly Growing Photos

(notice in the pix above that Emmie is clapping - a new trick!)


You are 3/4 of a year old! How exciting! Again, we had the best month with you. Everyone says "it goes by so fast", so I ask them "well, how do you slow it down?". They say "You can't!" Okay, so we will just enjoy and count our blessings every day with you, sweet girl!

You are growing well:
16 lbs. and 12 oz.
27 inches long
15 3/4 head cir.

This month:
-you have FOUR new teeth on the top!!!!!!
-you are still nursing 4 times a day
-you can drink out of your sippy cup all by yourself now by tipping it up
-you are really good at a fake cough - too funny!
-you tried for the first time this month: cheese, goldfish, cereal bar, and crackers
-you hold your bottle ALL by yourself the whole feeding the whole time
-you recognize your name and turn your head when we call your name
-you like to turn the pages on your books and photo album
-you have started pulling your bows out of your hair
-you have started pushing things away when you don't want them
-you offered Daddy your Cherrio
-Daddy was holding you and I was chasing ya'll and you thought it was hillarious - you let out a HUGE laugh!
-you got your first official cold - yucky!
-you like your Daddy's hairy legs - you rub them and sometime get a good hold and pull too hard
-Daddy taught you how to clap and you are really good at it!
-you love ice in your sippy cup to make your water cold
-we are trying to teach you how to kiss Mommy and Daddy on the cheek
-when I try to get you to stand up sometimes, you keep your feet out straight in front of you like you want to sit down. this makes me laugh!

Your sweet sounds and noises are music to our ears. You are a true joy from the Lord and we are thankful to have you and share you with our friends and family.
