Nine Months?!

Natalie is about to turn nine months.  Nine months, can you believe it?!  The last few weeks have been amazing to just watch her grow and learn so many MANY new things.  We spent a week with her cousins and that started everything in motion.  She saw what they were doing and immediately wanted to try to.  Well, so it seems!  She is starting to attempt crawling, but hasn't got the hang of it yet.  She has only made it about two feet.  I think she is a little intimidated by the many head dives she has taken from the hands and knees position!  Her walker is still one of her favourite places to be.  We are still taking as many safety precautions as we can so she stays safe.  She would much rather just sit and play on the floor than to be held.  She can sit there for hours just playing, talking and dancing to the music!  She will sit there and spin on the spot and scoot forward a little bit at a time to get to a toy that has gone too far out of reach.  She has 6 teeth..... four on top, two on bottom.  She is going through this stage where she has to feed herself.  We are trying to work through it but it takes a lot of patience and creativity.  Welcome to parenthood I guess!  As for Dylan and I, we are doing pretty good.  Busy but good.

Here are a few new(ish) pictures!

Who knows what she was thinking in this picture?!

Her vibrating teether

The yellow thing she is holding is the upright part of the stacker rings.
The threads must feel good on her teeth!

The joy of being a mom
