Nine Months!

I can't believe it has already been nine months! Kairi is such a sweet baby. She has started to cuddle more, and she knows when she just wants to sit on your lap and snuggle in close.
She is into everything! She can now use any object to stand up. She loves being up on her feet and looking around. She can't just get up, but she already knows how to get back down to crawl around again.

She loves to get into anything that she isn't supposed to, she can find anything small enough to fit into her mouth, and loves to try and catch Aspen. Her new trick as of yesterday was climbing up the stairs. I could't believe when I looked down the stairs and saw her four stairs up! Needless to say, the basement now has a gate. She can also wave hi and bye, and changing her diaper is a nightmare!


Kairi is a really happy baby, most of the time. When she sees her bottle, she wants it, and she wants it now! She hates mushy foods, but she will now eat some baby food. She loves food, she just loves to be picky about which ones she loves. She loves bread, turkey, avacado, olives, popcorn, crackers, yogurt, cheese, rice, and fries. She also knows that I almost always feed her, so if she is hungry, she looks at me and whines. She can self feed the little foods she eats.

She is growing at a great rate. She had her first ear infection last week, absolutely hates her medicine, and can spit it back in your face. It is the worst! While at the doctor though, she weighed in at 20lbs and 3oz. She doesn't look super chubby, but this baby can hold her own. She sleeps from about 8 pm till 8 am, and then still takes two naps a day for two hours each.

She loves being in the tub, but is super crazy and all over the place. Her baths are kept short for her own safety. She loves her brothers, and they can always make her laugh.

She loves when her daddy comes home though, and gets to him as soon as she can. Daddy's girl!

I feel like the last nine months have been a blink of an eye. This little girl has totally changed our family. She is an absolute blessing and joy to have, and I am so grateful to be her mom.
