London is 9 months old!

Honestly, I can not BELIEVE that my little baby is already 9 months old. It doesn't seem quite fair to me that the nine months that she was in my belly crept by slower than a snail, and the nine months since my sweet girl was born have flown by at the speed of lightning. Ugh. Its bitter sweet.

Here are some of the new things London did this past month:

*SHE IS CRAWLING!!!!

*She is eating mostly small table foods.

*She has mastered the straw cup

* She has started improving on the sippy cup (she still isn't a huge fan)

*She crawls to you when you say "Come see me"

*She walks while holding your hands.

*LOVES to stand and does it really well as long as she has something to hold on to.

*Gives kisses

*She is blowing lots of "raspberries" these days (she has done this in the past, its just a new favorite this past month)

*She grabs objects and moves them from hand to hand or hand to mouth very swiftly.

*She has started recognizing patterns of events. For example, if you tickle her, stop, and then start to tickle again, she will laugh BEFORE you tickle her the second time because she knows its coming.

*"MaMa" is being used more often this past month

*If you :hide" an object while she is looking, she will uncover it. This is a fun game for us.

Our little princess is growing up quickly. She brings so much joy to our family!
