9 mos

Sorry I know you've been at the edge of your seat waiting...Ok- so there won't be any more monthly pictures and I'm sure you'll see why after this. I really wanted to do it until 1 year, but I think it's just not going to happen. Pictures today were torturous! Yes I know her bday was yesterday, but I worked 12 hours, so we did them today. Mira isn't feeling well- she has a REALLY stuffy nose- I got her some sudafed. She is also having really bad diarrhea- I started putting her in disposables (ick) with aquaphor all over her bottom because she's so red. She actually slept until 9 am this morning and then still took 2 naps!!
Mira has 8 teeth now- four on top and four on bottom. She's been such a good teether. She really doesn't get too fussy and she's not one of those kids that drools non stop or always has a runny nose. I hope they're all this easy!!
She's trying to take a step on her own but she's too scared! She'll walk holding on to just one of our hands now and she'll stand for 10-15 seconds on her own, but she just can't seem to get that foot picked up all the way. She does really well cruising and walking with her walker.As you can see we've just started and we're already having difficulties here. I kept trying to tape it out of her reach but she could still get at it.
No mom, no pictures on my back this month please.M is so precious. She's the sweetest baby. She can give kisses SO GOOD on command!! She doesn't know hug yet, but that's because we like kisses more. She does fives good too- we're working on high fives. She crawls up the stairs too, but not down- we have to keep them gated off or she makes a beeline for them. Here she's chasing her sign up the stairs and I'm trying to get a picture...I'll take that crinkly paper thank you. So then I had the brilliant idea of taping it to her walker- which worked...Briefly...she still found it- we're done.So that's my story- the end of the sweet monthly pictures...
