Jelly Bean 9 Months

Today our little one is nine months old! This month has been one adventure after another. 

We can finally see a tooth poking through. When it finally pokes all the way through it will be her first. She still needs two fingers to balance herself while walking and she's become obsessed with the activity. Mommy and daddy's backs are getting stronger. ;) 

She celebrated her 9 month birthday by enjoying her first ice cream cone, with remnants of her big brother's chocolate ice cream still on it. 

And with her first ever swing, pushed by her older brother (sometimes gently, sometimes not quite so gently). 

Some days I look at her and am still in wonder at how healthy, how whole she is. And how lucky we are.

9 Months!

9 months. Nine months. Our little man is officially nine months old. That is just sheer craziness. PJ was still in my belly at nine months - that kid held on for an extra two weeks - but we are closing in on that special time when he will be an "outside" baby longer than he was my "inside" baby.

Us at 40 weeks as an "inside" baby.

Us at 40 weeks as an "outside" baby.

Nine months also means that I return to work - first day is Tuesday - and the Mr. has parental leave alone. Man, oh, man. Those two are going to have too much fun!
