Happy 9 Months, Cyanne!!

It has been an amazing nine months.
Each day we are delighted, amazed, entertained, and filled with such joy as we watch Cyanne.
She has now been "on the outside" longer than she was "inside." Actually, that was basically true at her 8 month birthday, come to think of it!
It is amazing to think of the time that I carried her and then to realize that she has now been with us, "outside," longer!



We have posted a few photos from today to show Cyanne and some of her activities.
At nine months, here are a few of the things she is up to:
  • Rolls over
  • Crawls/wiggles backwards and in circles
  • Waves hi and bye
  • "Talks" in sounds and pitches
  • Claps her hands
  • Loves playing with her board books (and eating them), stacking rings/cups, stuffed toys
  • Eats varying kinds of solid food purees (loves sweet potatoes and carrots, does not love peas... =))
  • Squeals with delight whenever she goes outside, especially if she sees the "puppy," Lucky
  • Strongly grabs at our faces, glasses, and the cats tails/fur
  • Enjoys drinking from straws - though it is still quite a surprise!
And many other things. We are constantly entertained by her expressions and her laugh.
She is just so darn cute. And yes, I am biased... but what can I say.
She's certainly showered with many, many kisses and hugs each day! (I am going to do it while I can, before she says, "Mom! Stop it!" Though maybe I'll be lucky and she won't do that... =))

She is quite independent - something we've had numerous people mention.

Here's the very cute baby girl:
(In some of these shots, you can sneak a peek at the top two teeth which are making their debut this week...)

She loves this musical 'taggies' ball.



Here, you can sort of see the top two teeth...



Playing on my baby quilt early this morning, surrounded by some of her favorite toys - and a very wary, suspicious Sonsie doing a walk-by.







Such a sweetheart.





Attempting to get a few action shots of her rolling/crawling - likely backwards, right off of the quilt!



At the end of the day... in her pajamas and ready for bed.
