Abigail is 9 months old today and FULL of personality! It seems like each time I pack up the clothes she has outgrown and start looking back at her newborn pictures, she does something so cute and silly that I forget how sad I am that this year is flying by and laugh out loud with this sweet girl!
She is really starting to interact with us and her personality is hilarious! This is her new favorite toy right now.
I was cooking in the kitchen this week and I could hear the most adorable baby giggles coming from the living room. Mike was on his hands and knees pushing her through the house on this puppy toy! Her Doo Dah brought this by earlier in the week and she is loving it! You can also feed the puppy little shapes through his mouth and reach in on the sides to get the toys out. Once she is standing and walking, there is a handle that pops up so she can walk along with it too! I think she will get a lot of use out of this one!
Of course her other favorite toy is Miller. She crawls all over the house now and Miller is the perfect jungle gym. Miller is such a sweet dog and just lets Abigail climb all over her!
Here's what Abigail is doing at 9 months:
* pulling up on the furniture and playing in tall kneeling. She will try to stand if you help her but hasn't tried on her own yet
* laughing a lot! She seems to understand when things are funny and she gets so tickled
* she loves the laundry basket and pulling all the clothes out. She recently reached out of her crib to the near by basket and pulled her dirty clothes back in the crib! Little stinker!
* lots of jibber jabber. I love to see her get on a roll and talk to us or her books
* working on her pincer grasp and finger foods. She mostly picks up her food and drops it for Miller...
Look at this serious face as she tries to pick up her food!
So far she likes to hold her food, but no way is she going to put it in her mouth! However, she is happy to eat anything that I give her on a spoon...
And Miller just camps out under her chair waiting for little puffs to fall from the sky. It's like Manna from Heaven!
Mike and I have been really busy with house renovations and work days at the new church building, but we are trying to spend as much time outside as we can because middle Tennessee is gorgeous in the Fal! Yesterday, we decided to celebrate Abigail's 9 months by taking a family trip out to Gentry Farm and getting a few pumpkins! It's hard to believe that next year she will be running around and picking out her own pumpkin.
Happy Fall Ya'll!
