nine months

millie is nine months. 
she is a cute little miss. 
i laugh at how little she seems compared to how big luke was when he was her age. 
she is just a little pipsqueak next to her brother. 
19lbs for millie at nine months
25lbs for lucas at nine months

we didn't go in for a nine month check up. there is no way i am going into the RSV infested doctors office for a well child visit. so... we'll be going in May for her one year old check up. 

i love this picture of millie. it's a real day. real clothes. real hair. 
how millie looks on a day to day basis. not when i am trying to force hair accessories and a cute outfit.


here are some of her milestones at nine months:

feeding herself a bottle about half the time
loving food, like real food
favorites are black beans, noodles, and fruits
pulling herself up on furniture
biting her crib... and leaving teeth marks (grrrr)
crawling around like a mad woman
opening drawers and doors in the kitchen and bathrooms
small enough for her infant car seat, but too heavy for mom to carry
taking two naps for a total of 3.5-4 hours a day
warming up to splashing in the tub
loves following Luke around
happy, happy baby 99% of the time
Luke's toys are the best... baby toys are well, for babies.
loves standing herself up at the windows in Luke's sports class and watching the kids

love this little miss. happy nine months.

Oh my! Such a gem! (Haha...right as I wrote that I remembered that you called me a gem once when we lived in O-town. Funny that I suddenly remembered that moment!) Anyway, she's a cutie! And guess what...Jake just turned 5 months and weighs about 20 pounds! He's a big guy just like Luke!

Hey long lost friend! Your baby girl (and Luke) are beautiful! Sometimes I think kids look the sweetest when they aren't all done up and they are a mess! Little Miss- that's what we call Audrey! Hope you and your fam are well!
