My Little Rascal is Nine Months Old

Adelyn's first year is flying by. My little rascal is nine months old! As one stage morphs into another, it's so easy to forget little things and remember it all as one big blur. I'm thankful to have a blog to use a scrapbook to document memories and milestones. Here are a few things I hope never slip into the blur of babyhood.

• The big smiles and kicks she gives when I walk in the room in the morning or after a nap.


• I am continually cracking up that she rolls everywhere instead of crawling.


• The way she "gives love" by a big open mouth kiss on the cheek.


• How she lights up when praised or laughed at.


• Looking at the video monitor and cracking up at the various positions she gets herself in.
  


• The intense look she gets when using a sippy cup.


• Her attempts to feed herself and learning to open the fist full of food in order to eat it.


• Her intense love for graham crackers.


• When her socks are off, how she loves to pull her feet up and chew on her toes.


• She is FINALLY taking long naps during the day. Typically 1.5 hours in the morning and 1.5 hours in the afternoon. She's still holding on to that third nap of the day but I don't mind because usually I want one around 3 or 4 too.


• Her fascination with anything handed to her. Especially paper products or cell phones.


• How she giggles at Chauncey for no reason sometimes.


• How good of an eater she is! This gal will eat almost anything we put in front of her.


• Her first night away from mommy went great!


• Thanks to this gal, I still cannot chew green Trident Gum. I even get grossed out when Austin chews it.
