9 Months and Counting


Emily is quickly finishing up her 9th month. She continues to cruise along the couch and is saying new words almost every day. Today she said "baby" and will say it when she sees herself in the mirror, or as she flips through her baby book.

Trying out new table foods is like a guessing game. One day, she'll eat scrambled eggs with no problem, the next day, she gags on them and refuses to eat them.


Last weekend, Kyle and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary and Kyle's 30th birthday. We had a small gathering at our condo and it was nice to have people over, because I don't get out much these days. Emily continues to obsess over Elmo and she is leaving to treat the cats with more respect. She kisses them, then I get to pull all of the cat hair out of her mouth. Elwood runs from her, but Fred stays around for a while, in hopes to get his head scratched. She hasn't quite perfected her cat petting.


Her favorite toys continue to be whatever is hanging out on the floor. She's also facinated by throwing a ball to me and having me roll it back to her. I'll tell her she's so big...and she'll throw her hands up in the air with excitement. She's been a great baby! I bet by the next time I update this....she'll be walking!
