Landrie,
You are nine months old now!! I know I say it each month, but where has the time gone?!? I feel like this first year is just flying by and I want it to slow down. Each phase/stage with you just gets better and better though! You are such a precious little girl and you bring so much joy, love and happiness to our little family. Your daddy and I love you so much and we were just talking about how we had imagined what you would be like--you have been so much more than we could have ever dreamed up.
You have several new things that you have started doing this month! You are now giving "big squeezes" hugs in which you grunt as if you are using all your might to give it. I love feeling those little arms wrap around my neck and that grunt when I ask for a big squeeze. You are still offering kisses for mommy and daddy. You are saying dada, baba(bottle), bye-bye(along with waving), hi, and you blow kisses with sound effects. You still haven't said momma--which I know your daddy is still relishing in--but I know my day is coming! :) You are cruising along the furniture and getting braver every day by letting go and standing for a couple of seconds before falling. You still love bathtime so much--especially when Wheel of fortune is on--you are mesmerized by it. It is really cute!
You go to bed most nights by 9pm and we still have to wake you up each morning. You are back in a good sleep routine and I am thankful for this! You now have four teeth!! It was a rough road getting them through, but you did it. You have also bit momma a few times, but you are geetting pretty good at listening when we tell you something is a no-no. :) You are loving Macy more and more and you get so excited to see her each night. She even let you lay your head on her the other day.
You are still such a snuggly baby and we love it! You still sleep with us and we love that too! haha! You love to see your friends at school each morning, but you are equally excited to see us each evening. I love to see your face light up with the biggest smile when you see us at the door. You make a beeline to the door to get to us--you don't let anyone or anything get in your way! It is precious!
You love to do face-time with your Honeygram and Poppy. You love being around them and your papaw--and of course they love spending time with you! I do love to tease your daddy because before you were born Honeygram told him that he would always be her baby, but then she laid eyes on you and lets just say there is a new baby in town.
Landrie, you are one very blessed little girl and I pray that you always remember that. You are loved by so many people, but I want you to know how much Jesus loves you. My prayer for you has always been that you would come to know Him and His love for you, and that you would let Him do great things through you for His glory!
I love you sugar bean!! You are my greatest blessing! Your daddy and I love you more than you will ever know!
