Dear Adelyn,
 |
| My beautiful girl at 9 months |
Please forgive me for not posting in a
while. You keep me busy and with school being back in session I have
zero free time! Any free time I do have goes all to you. You have grown
so much in the past two months. Not only physically but mentally and
your personality is really starting to show through. You are very mobile.
You started crawling in early August and have not slowed down yet. You
are into EVERYTHING! And you feel like you must be with me or daddy at
all times because whenever one of us leaves the room you crawl after us
crying the whole time. We can't even go to the bathroom without our
little shadow following us.
 |
| You got into Daddy's wallet and pulled out his credit cards... Combine
that with your love of shopping and I think we are in trouble already :)
|
Your favorite thing to get into these days
is Sam's food... I don't know what it is about it but you always go
straight for it. I know it can't taste good! And there have been a few
times I have had to dig a piece out of your mouth. (ewww!) Sam doesn't
seem to mind though. I think you two have some kind of agreement becasue
Nana said she caught you feeding him your pasta yesterday when she was
not looking lol. You sure learn fast! Sam is such a good big brother to
you and you two have really become buddies these past few months. He
sure puts up with a lot letting you crawl all over him and pull on his
ears, noise, fur, and anything else you get your hands on. He just lays
there and lets you go to town and when he has had enough he gets up and
moves away. He is such a protector.
You are not only
crawling but also pulling up and climbing. I know it is only a matter of
time until you are walking. Right now you can walk behind the cute
little walker your Nanny bought you. I'm in no hurry for you to talk
though! Honestly it makes me kinda sad to think about because I feel like
once you start walking your no longer my baby anymore. I'm also not
looking forward to all the chasing and messes that will follow lol.

You
are still not sleeping through the night again yet, but we do have 4
teeth! you are so cute right now with 2 on top and 2 on bottom.
Daddy says you look like a little chipmunk lol. I don't know who told
you that you need to cut them two at a time but that is how you have done it.
Right now you have two more coming in! I think I have come to terms
with the fact that you are not going to sleep though the night again
until all your teeth are in. We have made some progress on the crib
front though. Your sleeping in it more and more these days with less
crying :)

| Loot at those teeth! |
You seem to demand my constant
attention these days which is difficult with school in session. I try to
give you as much as possible but you let me know when I am not giving
you enough. Yes, you have already started throwing tantrums! You throw
your little head back and start crying when we take you away from something or move something out of your way. You must get this from your
daddy! We do our best to ignore your tantrums, but it is not easy! I
hope this is not a sign of what is to come. :)

Really
most of the time you are sweet and curious and so smart! You have been
able to patty cake and throw a ball for a while now. You can open
drawers and figure out ways around barricades to keep you out of the
kitchen. Just the other day you started picking up my phone and
putting it to your ear and saying Hello! You also managed to climb on top of the dishwasher door yesterday. I swear it is amazing the
things you learn form just observing.You are also fearless. You
will just start crawling right off the couch or the bed. Its like you
think if you go slow you will be okay... We have to really keep our eye
on you!

| Silly girl! :) |
At your 9 month checkup you weighed 21 lbs
making you in the 80th percentile for weight! Your already wearing 12
and some 18 month clothes. The other night we put a 12 month shirt on
you and it was too tight! I don't even want to think about how you fit
into a 2t shirt the other day. I can't believe how fast you are growing.
I saw a newborn the other day and it was hard to remember you that
small. It really is true about how fast babies grow. Everyone tells me
how gorgeous and sweet you are. Of course I think that too. To me you
are absolutely perfect!

Adelyn, I love you more than
you will ever know. You make life so much sweeter and worthwhile. I
cherish every moment I get with you. My favorite moment of the day is
the one where I walk threw the door and see you light put and smile as
your reach for me. As I start to plan your 1st birthday I can't help but
reflect on how much of a miracle and blessing you are. Daddy and I
love you so much sweetheart! We can't wait to see what the next few
months have in store.
