Ansley Harper: 9 Months



Huh...deep breath.  Try not to weep, tear up, sob, or do the ugly cry...our baby is 9 months!

*You are waving bye, bye.  You just started this after months of practicing and that little hand just flails so sweetly!

*You have 4 teeth!

*You can get yourself from a laying position to a sitting position with a little twirk we fondly describe as break-dancing...a twist of the legs and a lot of tummy strength and you're up!

*You love to pull up on everything now and you're are all smiles when you do.  You love accomplishing the pull up!

*You sleep mostly on your knees, crouched over in a ball, with of course, your thumb in your mouth.  It is absolutely adorable...sometimes I just sit and stare at you on the monitor.  You are such a beautiful little creature.

*You have started giving kisses...open-mouthed kisses.  It melts our hearts!

*You love the Johnny Jump Up at Pamaw's house, you love to swing around and jump like a crazy girl.   

*You attended little Jansen's baptism this month and got to see the Bollinger and Jansen families. In the church, you jabbered the whole time!

*You are also standing by yourself. This started on March 21st at Jansen's baptism party. You decided that Mrs. JoEllen's table was the right height to start balancing yourself and you did it! Then, at Mimi and BB's house you didn't want to stop! We were amazed!

*You are crawling! You started this new venture on March 30th one evening for mommy and daddy. We started laughing because you were crawling and army crawling all in one, through some pretty tight spots. Again, we were amazed!

*At your 9th month appointment you were 50% in height and weight, weighed 19.5 lbs. and had no ear infections (you like to pull on your ears, which worries mommy).

Ansley, 9 months has gone by too fast! Before we know it we will be dropping you off at college :(. Ok, I have to stop...I'm having chest pain.
