9 months old!

Well it's official. Lila has now been out in the world longer than she was inside my belly! Makes me a little sad, but we don't have time to be sad. She is keeping us on our toes at all times. The days of sitting still and playing with one toy are behind us. We are crawling everywhere! I can't leave the room to put a handful of laundry away (or something much more exciting ...ha) before she is gone to another room. She loves being able to get around on her own! She is pulling up on everything and I swear will be walking before to long! Yikes!

This morning we took our first day of Mother's Day Out pictures outside. Don't know why?, but in my family the first day of anything was marked by a picture on the front porch? I know it's not school yet, but Josh and I felt a little sad by how big she seemed.

Lila still thinks bath time is the greatest gift in the world! If you look closely you can see the two teeth on the bottom. One more is about to come through on the top. You would think that this would mean she was ready to start eating some solid food....

sadly, no. She won't eat anything that has bumps or lumps in it. She prefers her food ready to swallow.

We still only babble and say da da. The closest we get to momma is when we are ready to get out of the crib. She says mmmmm really loudly when she needs to be saved. We had to lower her mattress to the lowest setting because she stands up when she doesn't feel like sleeping:) Lately, that seems like most of the time. Like I said we are just to busy to stop. Too much out there to explore!

Lila Elizabeth, Daddy and I are so in love with you! You make us laugh constantly and remind us with your smiles and "words" how much God loves us. Only 3 months left until you are a year old!
