Isla is 9 months old!!

Or at least the was when I started writing this.  Let's pretend like she still is for a few minutes.  At least until later this week when I post that she is actually 10 months old.

The strangest thing keeps happening around our house, our children are growing up before our very eyes!  My sweet little tiny baby is over nine months old!  Do you know what that means?  It means I better get crafting for her first birthday party!  Isla is definitely spunky.  I can see that she is going to be a little mess and we will love every minute of it!  That being said, she is a great baby and is very easy going, as long as I am holding her.

 Isla,

• You are a little crab.  Your little fingers are good at pinching. I think you kind of think it's funny.
• You are getting a little bit pickier (more picky?) about the foods you will eat.  When it comes to baby food you are not so keen on the green ones.  Uhoh.
• You are our little explorer, you are always crawling around everywhere and finding things to put in your mouth.  Before you try to eat them, you usually turn them over a few times and try to figure out what said object does.  The general consensus is that it goes in your mouth.  Word on the street is that you even tried this with a dead bug.
• You still love the water but the water running into your eyes during bath time is not your friend anymore.  I hope you two can get used to each other.
• You haven't quite gotten the courage to "cruise" around furniture yet, which means no busted lips or heads.
• You are still a tiny thing, you weight 15.6 pounds and are in the 7th percentile for weight.  You are still wearing 3-6 month clothes.  You are in the 25th percentile in height.
• I catch you and your brother in the back seat doing things like making fart noises and laughing hysterically at each other.  Your brother loves to make you laugh and you love watching him.
• Cian calls you beautiful and it might be the sweetest thing ever.
• You get mad when we take a toy away from you.  I mean you pitch a little baby fit complete with tears and a bit of screaming.  Once you get the toy back you are completely fine and the water works are turned off.  How do kids do that?

Isla Month One-Eight

Isla, I am lucky that God chose me to be your mommy!

Love,
Mommy
