Kylie at 9 months!






My lil sweetie!


Yay!  Kylie turns 9 months old today!!

My mom was right: every stage is precious, but they just keep getting cuter and cuter.  It's hard to imagine her getting any cuter than she already is, but I know she will!

At first I thought 3 months was the bee's knees, then I thought, no, 6 months is the best!  Now that she is 9 months, I DEFINITELY think it's the best.  Right?  How could she possibly get any cuter than she already is???  Hahaha, I know how this story will end!

Here are some of the many reasons why I LOVE 9 months:

giggles
cuddles
clapping
crawling
standing
walking (with help)
googoo, gaga noises
first words (hi, and dada)
two bottom teeth
sleeping in the crib

...just to name a few!

It's sad but exciting to think that my next blog post might be her 1 year Birthday!!

I want to share a special experience I had with Kylie the other day.

We were in her nursery and I was holding her and pointing to her baby picture that is framed on the wall.  On the opposite side of the room is a framed picture of Henry.  I turned her around to show her his picture.  She looked at him for awhile, then immediately looked at another picture of him across the room.  Just like she made the connection and knew who he was.  That was such a special moment for me.  To know that she is aware of him and knows who he is.  Moments like these are what makes motherhood so rewarding!

Here are some more moments we have enjoyed over the last couple months.  Enjoy!
