9 Months Old!

This little lady celebrated her 9 month old birthday today!

We learned the key to making it through church....(cheerios). Then we headed out to breakfast where Hannah feasted on some birthday french toast. It is so wonderful to have our happy, smiley, giggling, healthy little girl back. We had a really fun weekend and definitely an even more fun week ahead because I am on spring break!

Official Stats: Weight: 23.3 (97%) Height: 29 inches (92%) Head: 17.5 (66%)

Best Moment this Month: It has to be the "Ma-Ma!"...oh, I melt every single time- will it ever get old?

What We Miss: The sun, the warmth and our nightly walks.

Working On: Rolling over and crawling. (I cannot wait until I am able to write something else in this spot!)

Holy Cow: This girl wants to move and groove- she won't sit still. She has learned how to get from point A to point B by bouncing on her bottom- it's pretty funny. She won't sit still on our lap anymore- always trying to squirm away.

Loves: Food.

Hates: Sleeping on her back.

Milestones: She is now able to roll from her back to her tummy, we're working on the opposite. She also drinks from a straw! She is starting to pull herself up on things and is becoming a lot more vocal.

Looking Forward To: Her first therapy appointment is this week. We had to cancel last week due to Hannah being sick. I am going to bet that by next month she will be crawling! She gets up on those knees and rocks, but still has not mastered the forward movement.

Other Stats: Size 5 diapers. (Yes, you read that correctly) We have to turn her carseat forward because she's maxed out the weight restrictions for rear-facing, three bottles a day and we're starting breakfast tomorrow! Eek!....Still 18-24 month clothing and still sleeping like a champ. We'll update her official height and weight tomorrow after her doctor's appointment...more shots. ugh.

On with some photos, the first are from Valentine's Day....Hannah's Daddy got her a rose, and they shared a romantic dinner that night!

Outtakes from our monthly photo attempt...she wouldn't sit still!

To Our Dearest Hannah,

Thank you for being the love of our lives! We love you more than you will ever know. We are so proud of how hard you're working and we love that your determination never fades. Thank you for bringing such unbelievable joy and love into our world. Happy 9 months baby girl!
