9 months old

Brooklyn is 9 months old!

Wow.  She is not a little baby anymore.  She is a big baby. 

(Well, she has always been a big baby :))

oops.....she leaned forward and rolled down the hill....and I was too far away to stop her

what she's doing: crawling everywhere, pulling herself up in her crib (I love this and love going in after she wakes up to get her), pulling herself up on all the furniture, playing well by herself for longer amounts of time, waving "hi" and "bye" on command, says "Da da" all day long, gets excited when she sees her mom and dad.

what she likes: her binkie, her blanket, watching baby Einstein, watching Mom - doesn't matter what she's doing, being tickled, being scared (ha ha...this is my new favorite thing about her lately....I'll go out of the room and hide and call for her.  She comes crawling over and I jump out and yell boo! and first she shakes and then starts laughing hysterically), eating other people's food, going on walks in the stroller, riding in the grocery cart at the store, watching other people, bath time.

what she doesn't like: getting dressed - she cries every time I put something over her head - absolutely hates it, water - I have to make her drink water and it usually just ends up all down her shirt, being thrown up in the air - used to love it - now hates it, when something is taken away from her.

And here of course and some more pictures of her...

standing up on the couch....notice she is wearing Christmas pajamas - I bought these before she was born, size 12 months, and that's what size she wears now.  I thought we better get some use out of them in case they don't fit at Christmas.

love my happy girl!

 and I had to post a picture of these boots :)
