My Peanut is 9 Months Old!

It makes me sad to say... but our little baby Hannah is already 9 months old! That seems so old to me. Maybe it makes me sad because she is just that much closer to a year... and that means a lot of change! Walking, talking, no more nursing, less naps, "real" food... my baby is just getting too old! I could say "she's getting too big", but that would not be true. We've got a tiny one here. She is still fitting in most of her 3-6 months clothes! Dylan was out of those by like 4 months! Maybe that is why this 9 month mark is hard on me, she still seems so little to me.

This (above) is the best picture I could get since she was doing this (below) most of the time!

But, my oh my, do we ever love her! Dylan said today while he and she were laughing together, "She is the best baby sister ever!" Awww! Hannah is our shy little Mama's girl. She still only says "mama" and not yet "dada". (Sorry, Jon! Dylan said "dada" first, so I'm claiming this one!) She's quiet and sneaky too. She can scootch across the room and get into trouble in half a second! She LOVES to climb. If we're sitting on the floor in front of the couch, she'll have climbed up our shoulders and onto the couch before we know it. Maybe she'll be a rock-climber, since she loves the outdoors too. Got a crabby Hannah? Bring her outside and set her in the grass or sandbox and you've got a whole new girl! I could go on and on, but I'll "ponder them in my heart" like Mary! We love you Hannah Gracie! Happy 9 months!
