Month #9 has been a big month for Lily. So many new things! She started clapping out of no where the other day. She’s really gotten it down since then but I captured some of her first attempts on video. She’s also gotten much better at her scooting. She’s all over the house now and getting pretty fast! Also making their debut are two cute little teeth. Hopefully we can get a big toothy grin sometime soon.

Finally the 9th month is here. Our doctor said the baby probably won’t be early, which yes is a good thing, but boy am I ready. We’ve hit 90 degrees twice this week, oh the misery (what can I say, I think I’ve finally gotten my Nebraska blood). Plus another UTI and nasty cold. Needless to say, I’m too tired to do much but sit around and watch my house get dirtier. No crazy midnight scrubbing floorboards for me! I can hardly get off the couch to stop Lily from putting my very worn Crocs in her mouth. The other Hales have sent out an SOS and thankfully Mama and Verna are coming to the rescue in a week!

Here’s some more of Lily standing around.

And pulling up now. Mostly in her crib, but once at the coffee table which is a pretty good hoist up!


We’re working on our walking too. Look at that sweet little foot (Lily’s not mine)!

Milestones.

It’s been a big 9th month for Lily. She’s changing a lot and has come to some of those milestones I thought would never get here. She can finally roll over and is beginning to scoot on her bottom. She stands very well with some help, she’s back to eating solids a little bit at a time and finally has two little teeth coming in! She’s leaving behind so much of the little baby she was and getting closer to that toddler. It’s amazing to watch this little girl learn one thing after another. To hear her babble change into chatter. To witness slowly over time and sometimes quickly right out of nowhere her getting to each new phase. It may just be picking up a small cheerio, waving “bye-bye” or pulling up on the coffee table but watching my child do them becomes some of the proudest and exciting moments my life.
