9 months

Today Laney is 9 months old. I won't lie- I miss my newborn. I miss holding her in my arms when she wasn't squirming to get down. I miss holding her while she peacefully slept. I miss her tiny being. I miss her laying still as I tried to change her diaper.
Yet, I love 9 months. I love that she will crawl to me when I walk in the room. I love that she giggles and smiles at me. I love that she is strong enough to pull herself up on everything. I love that she turns and looks at me and seems to know that I am her mom. I love that if I start to sing Pat-a-cake, she starts to clap her hands (she obviously has her mother's intelligence.) I love that she eats real food- and a lot of it. I love to constantly hear mamamama all day long. I love that she spits at Erich when he spits at her. I love to watch my baby grow up.

Wow, she has really grown up Mandy! It's been too long since I've seen a picture. She is too, too cute.

So happy that you are blogging now!!

I love it when she sticks her tongue out at me. Maybe when she is older she can remake the band Kiss and have a girl lead singer, I think her father would be proud!
