9 Months Old!

Lydia's nine months old and undergoing major changes. She's doing it; she's doing the army crawl!! I'm on the floor enticing her towards me (she likes my shiny ring), and I'm so proud. She's getting into the coffee table shelf, so we've replaced heavy objects with stacks of her books. We can sit with her and roll balls back and forth! She can pull herself up to sitting. She also thinks it's time to change away from her three-a-day naps. And can we say, Mamma's Girl? We'll see how this turns out... Lydia's the happiest baby I know. She gets so happily excited for food, toys, play... The expressive blinking and grunting while forcefully drawing her elbows in to her chest is her signature move. We have doctor's appointment and photo shoot this week. I have to make a point to pull out our video camera too. 17 lbs, 6 oz. 27.5 in.

Let's Eat!

Lydia loves mealtime. She eats cottage cheese, pasta, egg, tofu, graham crackers, and of course, Cheerios! And she likes my pot roast too, thanks to the magic bullet blender :)

Two Cheerios in the right hand, one hanging on her lip, and going for another!

We removed the spill-proof part of the cup, so now she's getting the hang of drinking from it.

Look what I have!!
