Three-Quarters of a Year

Nine months have passed already. You're not crawling, but you're rolling everywhere you want to go! You're working on mastering the art of getting from a sitting position to the ground gently, but that doesn't seem to bother you too much.

You've got two teeth on the bottom right now and you know how to use them! You love the little cereal puffs, bread, watermelon, or cut grapes I put in front of you. And while they don't always make it to your mouth, your finger dexterity is getting better and better!

You're still the happiest baby; we rarely hear you get upset. You've mastered waving and you still love to say "Da da." "Ma ma" has finally made it into your vocabulary, although it's pretty much reserved for when you're hungry and want to nurse. That's okay, I'll take it!

I know you're supposed to start crawling soon, but I'm enjoying these moments of you content in the middle of our chaos...and I secretly hope you won't rush it.

We love you, Gabrielle! All 9-months of you. :)
