9 Months!

My sweet girl has been in the real world now longer than she was growing in my tummy! Time has just FLOWN by and I am SO excited about sharing this Holiday season with my growing little daughter.

Hannah Kate pulls up to standing position all the time and on pretty much anything! She is a mover and shaker! Super social, she waves at everyone (She has 3 different waves!) She dances and "raps" to Daddy's music. She plays all sorts of noise games with anyone willing, and she has a smile that lights up the room! She went from having two bottom teeth to breaking in 3 new ones! Including the top two!. The other one is just beside one of the bottom teeth.

She had her very first round of antibiotics this month for a pretty bad ear infection that had to take place while she was cutting her 3 new teeth. Poor baby had a very rough weekend but seems all better now! We are very grateful for our pediatricians office and our health care.

Speaking of Grateful! Hannah Kate with experience her first Thanksgiving next week! I am so excited! She is such a finger food eater she will get to try most of the fixins! She has VERY good finger dexterity and is developing so much!

She started to put a little kitty toy in her mouth the other day and I told her "No no Baby." and she volunteered the "no no toy" to me! :) She is studying my face a lot more as I'm teaching her when something hurts me or one of the pets. She has a vice grip so we are really working on being gentle. She is definitely starting to take notice of the difference in my voice and facial expressions and she is inadvertently mimics them as she explores this new thing.

Hannah Kate's beautiful curls are lightening up but also getting longer and thicker. Her mobility is causing her to lengthen out and she is losing some of her Plumpness. She is 18 pounds 15 ounces.
I tend to stop and cherish her the most at nap and bed time, when it's quiet and still and she is falling asleep. She is the most beautiful thing I've ever laid eyes on and I am BEYOND thankful to have my little Angel!
