9 Months Already?

Irelyn at two weeks

& Irelyn at 9 months

Yes, my little sweet baby is 9 months. It's so weird that this day has come. It seems moments ago that she was 9 min old, 9 days, 9 weeks, now 9 months! But she is SO much fun. I do miss every stage we leave behind but I am always excited for the next stage!

Some of the things Irey has been up to lately is CRAWLING!!! January 18th at the Gillman's she finally did it! Of course she was waiting for a audience to cheer her on, that's just so Irey. But now that she has finally crawled she is EVERYWHERE and into EVERYTHING. I don't think she will be crawling for long because she is pulling herself up on everything and trying to balance. She only crawled because I think she realized that it will get her walking faster. I know her entire motive is to be able to run around with those crazy cousins, Easton and Hunter. When she sees them you can just see it in her face, she wants to run around with them.

Some of the things we are loving right now is her little personality. Whenever Brandon and I are driving in the car and having a conversation she always chimes in with her jabbering and if we laugh she will laugh too. When we fake laugh, just to see if she will do it, she never disappoints and is laughing right along with us. She is so happy all the time! She just loves to move and play and is busy Busy BUSY! She never stops moving and she never stops smiling and I just love that so much about her. I just sit back and let her pull the movies off the shelf and pull her diapers out of her cupboard and just let her have at it. For the 15 minuets of delight she gets out of it is worth the 30 seconds it takes to clean it back up. Sure it will get old but until then I am enjoying every second.

Something that does save my life however, is BABY EINSTEIN!!! Thank you to whom ever thought of that up. She loves it. It takes a lot for my little bug to sit still and Baby Einstein does the trick. I love it because the movie is about as long as it takes for me to get ready. So I actually get to put on some make up occasionally with out Irey wanting to sit on my lap and be made over too. It's really cute though. She loves for me to tickle her face with the brushes (she couldn't be more of a girl).

Irelyn we love you so much. You are our every joy and life would be so dull with out you. Thank you for keeping us on our toes. Love, mama and dada
