Nine Months

Well, it's official - you've been out in the big wide world for as long as you grew inside me! Nine months - they have flown by! You are growing and learning so much lately :) Of course, the biggest is the fact that you are on the move - everywhere! You learned how to crawl and embraced the freedom! You tour from room to room, trying your best to keep up with your siblings and your mom. Each morning I find you in the dining room, eagerly eating any leftover breakfast that fell on the floor. Then you travel to the play room to explore a few toys. You push open doors that are not clicked shut and are even starting to open cupboard doors that are! You are a monkey, there's no question! You used to love the playpen and sit for long periods of time playing. Now you see it as a cell that prevents you from roaming (which, to be honest, it is!) You are also starting to pull yourself up and stand. The world is getting bigger and bigger.
This new found freedom has returned you to your contented and happy state. You are smiley, talkative and LOUD. You holler louder than your brother and sister, and have a great time doing it! There's never a quiet moment when you're around :P I guess being number three means you have to assert yourself, or you'll never be heard!
Well, little missy. We hope and pray that you continue to learn and grow. We are thankful for your personality and are excited to get to know you even better. Our only request is that you grow a few teeth ... so that you can start to eat foods that are not pureed :) Come on... Peyton's doing it!
