nine months




Our little Lila bean is growing so fast. I love how every stage becomes more fun and exciting. I wish she wouldn't grow so fast especially since most of that time is spent taming her brother (Sorry Boston).

- She has the happiest personality.
- She loves to laugh at children.
- When Boston blows and spits in her face she giggles and smiles.
- her top teeth are coming.
- She loves to sit up (with help).
- Likes to lay on her belly for a short time and always rolls over to her back.
- she claps her hands on her own (it is so cute).
- she loves patty Cake.
- she really does say "mama" I wasn't sure of it last month.
- she loves the "puffs" treats that melt in her mouth.
- she is so good at picking them up and putting them in her mouth.
- she lets me know when she needs more by screaming "AHHH!"
- she is not crawling yet.
- she sometimes gives me the cheesiest smiles.
- she likes to chew on everything and anything.
- she loves grabbing her toes.
- She likes to be able to look out the window when we are in the truck.
- has been waking up at 6:15 am every morning.
- doesn't like naps.
- sometimes has to cry her self to sleep at nap times.
- Loves watching her brother 24/7.
- puts her arms out towards me when she wants to be held.
-she doesn't like to smile for pictures.


Every time I think about her age I want to hold her longer and longer. Last night, She fell asleep in my arms and as I passed my reflection in the mirror I couldn't believe how big she was. I remember when I only had to hold her with one arm and now I have to use both arms to cradle her. It's kind of a humbling feeling and I want to enjoy her every chance I can. We love her more each month.

Oh my goodness! How in the world is she 9 months already!!
SHe is darling!
And I am serious your photography is killer! My good pictures is based on lighting only. I don't know how to work my camera at all unless I have the lighting..then I just turn the flash off and they take. Those pics of her in the green towel are flawless!
