Our Nine Month Old

I’m definitely behind in getting this posted as Ashilene actually became our nine month old on February 16th.  It has been another wonderful month of growth and development for Ashilene.

After what seemed like forever of teething, her first two teeth finally poked through her bottom gum.

See my new teeth 

She’s been having a lot of fun exploring her lips, teeth and tongue.

She likes to pucker up her lips in what we call her mini fish face.

This video clip gives you a glimpse of her strumming her lips with her fingers.

Ashilene continues to get more and more mobile.  She now crawls Under

Over

and Through anything she comes across.

Of course, her favorite thing to do is pull up to standing on EVERYTHING!

This is a common sight as she desperately tries to grab anything she can get her fingers on from off the TV tray.

Of course, all this mobility can really tire her out and she seems to be able to fall asleep anywhere except her crib.

Some of Ashilene’s other favorites include playing with herself in the mirror

& with Daddy’s pen.

I love Daddy's pen

We just love our nine month old!

It seems like yesterday that Annabelle was in that stage... has it been so long?

She is getting so big. Those pictures are priceless. I love the pictures of her sleeping anywhere. My children never do that - only in their cribs will they fall asleep.
