Is it possible that my baby girl is already 9 months old??!! I can't believe in 3 short months we will be celebrating Paisley's 1st birthday! Having three little ones and working, the days can be VERY long at times. But, I know I need to slow down and enjoy this time with them, because the years will go by so fast! I have to be honest this last month has not been the best for miss P. With all the yuckiness going around, she was sick for most of it. She had an ear infection and cold, got tubes put in, (which has been a blessing,) , started teething two more top front teeth and then caught another BAD cold, (which turned into hospitalization for RSV and pnemonia.) Makes me want to cry all over again, thinking about all she has been through. But, her health has really started to turn around in the last week and my happy baby girl is starting to shine through again! Her eating has really picked up and she seems like she can't get enough lately! She loves picking up her own food and "snacking" all day on puffs, cheerios, goldfish, and veggie puff sticks. She will still let you spoon feed her baby food, but she would much rather you put real food down for her. She hasn't started crawling yet, but she rolls all over the place to get to what she wants. Plus, with two brothers always bringing her stuff, why would a girl need to crawl anywhere?! ;) She will stand up for a few seconds when she plays at her music table and trys to push her walker around too. I have to be right there to catch her because the walker goes much faster than she does! She started saying "da da" at the beginning of the month and started saying "ma ma" when she was sick in the hospital. The nurses would be trying to suck out her nose and she would be screaming, "ma ma ma!" It was so pitiful and sweet at the same time! I sure do hope this next month is much better for my sweet baby girl! I look forward to spending lots of time out in this beautiful weather with her and the boys! Paisley continues to add so much sparkle to our lives and we love her so much! Happy 9 months baby girl, I look forward to celebrating many more milestones with you!
