my sweet greer-girl,
heavens to bettsies, nine months already. you are just getting too old too fast! we had SUCH a fun month and you are still amazing me with what an incredible baby you are. we still aren't mobile yet, so like i've said in previous months, i LOVE this stage you are in! we did lots of fun things this past month:
- you went on a BIG vacation with momma! just you and me. we left daddy and rowan at home, and we went and visited grammie and grampie winebrenner in NEW YORK! i was worried about the plane, and your sleeping schedule while we were there (or the lack thereof) and how you would do being out of your "norm". and i shouldn't have worried for one second. you were amazing, as usual. even when i would drag you out of your bed, or you would have to take your nap in the car, or when we would get home way later than planned, you were still the champ of all champs. everyone kept commenting on what an amazing baby you are- and i totally agree. lucky momma!
- you have found your groove! ha ha. when you hear a beat whether it be on the TV or song on the radio, you start to wiggle your little body. ya girl!
- you still have F.O.M.O- you don't really like to be by yourself at all. as long as someone is in the room with you, you are usually pretty okay. (but more often than not, you like it to be momma ;) )
- you are becoming a tiny bit feistier than normal. maybe you have some teeth coming in? but the grunting and shrieking seem to be on the rise.
- you just started saying "momma" a few days ago and oh, how it melts my heart! i love seeing you learn and grow... and the fact that you know who i am, and that you know i will come save you when you are sad is one of the most rewarding things about being your momma.
- you also just started clapping your hands a few days ago! YAYYY!!!
- you still have the foot "wave" going on and its still one of my favorite things.
- you are all of a sudden very interested in things that are in my mouth. especially gum. you just stare at my mouth, even if there is a chance that something could be in it.
- we are still working on some baby sign language and i think you might be starting to get it.
- you and rowan are the best of friends. truly you want to JUMP out of my arms when you see her in the morning, or after your naps. you are starting to actually play with each other and nothing warms my heart more than hearing you two giggle together.
- my "i'm just gonna bite her because i can't even handle the cuteness" hasn't eased up. your daddy is still afraid that i'm going to get violent because i just want to eat you.
- still such a good sleeper. 11-12 hours at night, and two 2-3 hour naps during the day. you go girl.
i love you so much sister sue. thanks for making my life so much easier, with what an incredible baby you are. i love your precious little spirit! you make me so happy.
the world is yours greer,
love momma.
