9 months old!!




Isabelle turned 9 months old yesterday! I can't believe how big she is getting. So in honor of this occasion, here are 9 little tidbits about her that I thought I would share:

  1. She can crawl now, and she is also pulling up on things. She was even cocking one leg up today trying to climb up onto the fireplace. :D
  2. Sometimes she starts laughing just for the sake of laughing. It cracks me up.
  3. I love how she smiles and her eyes light up when her Daddy or I walk into the room. She is such a happy baby!
  4. She has 6 teeth now! And another one on the way!
  5. I love her chubby little hands and fingers and how she can pick things up by herself. She loves to feed herself. Some table foods she has tried are: bannanas, cooked carrots, peas, potatoes, green beans, and of course, Gerber puffs in a variety of flavors. :)
  6. She says "Hiiiii" and waves by scrunching up her little fingers. It just melts my heart.
  7. She LOVES to be outside, and she loves her doggy.
  8. She recognizes people and gets really excited when she sees someone she knows. She also likes to look at herself in the mirror.
  9. She brings a smile to the face of anyone who looks at her. I have been out in public and seen someone walking along with a frown on thier face, and then when they see her they light up and can't help but smile! She is such a ray of sunshine!!

Isabelle, I hope someday you will understand just how much your Mommy and Daddy love you, and how much JOY you bring to our lives and the lives of everyone around you! Happy 9 months, baby girl!!

Also, here is a video of her waving. It's so cute. (Or at least her Mommy thinks so.)
