Oma and Opa

Oma and Opa came to see me on their way
to and from Michigan for Thanksgiving! I love
when they come to play with me! They couldn't
get over how much I had changed in just 3 weeks!

If there isn't something in my hands,
I am most likely pointing at something!

Getting ready to go on a
"walk" around the room!

I get so thrilled with myself sometimes!

What you got going on up there Opa?

You'll have to forgive my bedhead,
I just woke up and I didn't want to
waste time doing my hair or changing
out of my pj's before they left.

Happy Thanksgiving!

9 months

So... almost a month ago these pictures were taken!
Where has the time gone?

I can hardly believe I am finally 9 months old!

I have acquired and mastered quite a few skills
in the last month. I crawl super fast and I pull up on
on anything and everything. But my favorite
new trick is to walk around holding on to whatever
happens to be nearby. I like to go on "walks"
holding onto anyone's fingers. I have become
a chatter box, I just jabber away all day! I play
patty-cake, clap, wave hi and bye and say
bye-bye "ba-ba" while waving. At one point it
sounded like I was saying "hi!", but I haven't done
it in a while, so it's debatable. Of course I still say
"ma-ma" and "da-da" and many other sounds.
I love playing peek-a-boo and chasing Bella around!
And... I finally have an upper tooth!
I love being all grown up, its fun being a big girl!

Don't worry Harrod, I will still play with
you even after I turn one and they
stop these ridiculous photo shoots!

9 month stats:
Height: 29 1/4 inches (91%)
Weight: 19 lbs. 7 oz. (55%)
Head: 45 cm (75%)

Christmas Cards

My mommy tells me this is the year she will

send out Christmas cards (apparently, she has
said she would in the past but never does).

We still have to take my Christmas picture,
but I have picked out my dress and mommy tells
me that I will look great in front of the Christmas tree.
I will have to take her word for it since I've never
seen one before. I am sure I will enjoy investigating
said tree and all the pretty lights and bright ornaments!

Here are some contenders for the Christmas
card that will display my photo. Right now
bloggers (even babies who blog) will get 50 free
cards from Shutterfly by writing a post about it.
Check it out, it's a great deal and since I am my
Daddy's daughter in so many ways, you can only
imagine how I feel about deals and free things!

Fall Pictures

A very talented friend took some
beautiful fall photos of our family!
