9 months old!!

Dani-

It's hard to believe you've now been outside the womb as long as you were in there! Sometimes I still can't believe we've been blessed with such a beautiful, joyful, active baby. You are just getting more and more fun and enjoyable. You've finally got the hang of crawling and now you buzz all over the place. I've even lost you a couple times when I leave the room for a second and you've snuck into another room or you're hiding out in the bathroom.

Your teeth are coming in like crazy. You now have at least six and numbers 7 and eight are ready to pop through any minute. And you have bit Grammy nose and Papi's toes already!!

Our favorite thing these days is watching you crawl around and pull yourself up on stuff and when you are all gigges and everything seems to make you laugh. You seem to understand when we tell you to come and you're starting to wave goodbye.

You seem to do everything in your power to stay awake like you don't want to miss anything, so it's been hard to get you down for naps and you only sleep as long as I do at night usually.

You're exploring with all kinds of sounds and funny faces. Sometimes grammy and grandpa have gotten you to imitate them but I still haven't. Though, we do have conversations sometimes saying "eh" back and forth to each other.

You love to eat most of the time, but seem to like "real" food a lot more than baby food. Papi and Abuelita gave you grapefruit the other day thinking you would make a funny face and you just couldn't get enough of it. You even like some foods with chile in them.

Our 9 month appt. is next Friday and then we'll find out how big you actually are. All I know is that you better slow down or I'm going to throw my back out again. I have to go to the gym just to keep up with you so I can still manage to carry you around (at least a little).

We love you so much our little pelona! We still thank God for you every day, just like when we were just waiting to see your gorgeous face 9 short months ago.

Love,
Mami and Papi
