9 months old! Where is the time going?

Dear Maya,

Happy 9 months!
I took two days vacation to try to catch up with where life is taking you, and to share a little of how nicely you're growing.
This first picture is from a party just this past weekend at Auntie Jennis/Uncle Foddy (Scottie).  You're actually sporting a dress that they gave you as a present a little while ago.  Mummy was just proud to match your cloth diaper with the sleeves.  You stayed with Neighbour Leyla for about 15 minutes all by yourself!

Around the same time Aunt Jenni gave you the dress above, she gave Lily the tutu below, and they had to put it on your to convince Lily to wear it.

Here you are with all of your neighbourhood cronies: Logan, Emi, Mimi, and Lily.

So big news, you are now able to ride in the jogging stroller.  Mummy has taken you out two Sundays now.. now I didn't say we jogged.. although we did, just not all the way.. and with lots of stops.

You now like to sit up in the trolley at none other than Target.

Just yesterday we visited Bellaire Library and found a very nice story time group for you.  You were very busy playing and greeting all the other children.

Then we went to your 9 month appt, where we found that you are growing very nicely.  No shots (yea!) but you did have an Iron and Lead level check and these were both normal.

Today, now we visited The Little Gym and you were so happy and even did a summersault.
We took Maria too, and she danced with you, and rescued the other children as you are very friendly and social.

And last but not least, here is the new decor in our living room.  We have created a safe zone for you to climb and fall at your leisure.

Maya you are just doing amazingly well.  We are also hoping that you sleep through the night at some point.  Ok, I just had to throw that in :)
