9 Months

My sweet little Eliza Ann (Liza Lou, Liza Blue Eyes, Li Li). You have hit the 9 month mark and I feel like that is a big number. You're so close to turning 1 and I'm afraid the next few months of the 'baby' stage are going to go quickly. I admire that you don't worry about what stage you're at and when you decide to do something it's all or nothing. One day you just decided you wanted to crawl and the next thing I knew you were across the room and down the hall. No army scoot, up and away you went. There's a feeling your dad and I have that because of your pattern's and that you have no teeth yet, we are going to look in your mouth one of these days and all of them will be there. I've had to baby proof the house and I've forgotten how you little ones learn to explore and get stuck in the most unforeseen places. Your giggle and smile is so contagious, and your eyes say it all. Those big brilliant blue eyes catch everyones attention. My heart melts every time you snuggle into my chest and give me loves with your little arms. We had your 9 month check up last week and even though you still have cute little rolls, you're starting to even out, 17.5 lbs and 27 1 /2 inches long. Yes you have hair, it's super blonde but lots of is. Finley adores you and you her. I love watching the two of you play and tease each other. We walked each week to take Fin to school and you can't wait to go pick her up. You're waving Hi and Good Bye, say dada and mama, and love giving Hi-5's. Sleep? Well that is not an issue in your book. 12-13 hours a night and two naps of 2+ hours. Food? Another nonissue. You love to eat and you've you discovered how to drink out of a cup, it did take a couple weeks of lapping it like a puppy but you got it. French fries are one of your favorites but there's not much you turn down. Forget baby toys, you want to play with anything and everything your big sister has. I love you with all my heart and look forward to all the future has to bring with you!
