A my-baby-is-almost-9-months-old update.

Dear Ash,

It's been forever since I've written. Isn't funny how, when life is the busiest (meaning you'd have the most to write), you have the least amount of time to actually write it down.

Since I've last written, we have moved and unpacked twice. I had my big dance performance. Your father quit his job, began working for himself, and launched a big online course. You have started crawling, climbing, standing, cruising, and almost walking.

We took you to the beach and you loved it. You walked (holding my fingers for balance) right into the water and plopped down. You were crawling all over, taking handfuls of sand and shoving them into your mouth as fast as you could. When we were on the boat, you would turn your face towards the wind, squint your eyes, and grin. You love the water so much.



You still don't sleep the full eleven hours at night that you are supposed to without waking up, but you do pretty good. You usually wake up between 5:45 and 6:30 still, but you almost always go back to sleep and sleep until 7:30 or 8. It's nice, but I'm hoping you learn to sleep through the night without waking up at all soon.

You have such a cute little personality and it's still growing. You laugh all the time and love getting attention from people as long as I'm holding you. If anyone else tries to take you, you scream. Certain people--namely, your grandmothers, your aunt Melissa, and of course your father--are acceptable to you (especially if I'm not around!). You love water, ice cream (healthy, of course), nursing, wearing only your diaper, getting out of the car, and new toys. Your favorite toys are things that aren't meant to be toys, like the lids to candles.

I sure love you. You are so cute and so lovable. I am so grateful you are my baby girl.

Now if only I could get you to stop growing up so fast!

Love,
Mom
