My Princess is 9 months old today

Wow my baby girl is 9 months old. She's been a little sick the past week she's had congestion but I am guessing it is due to teething b/c her 2nd top tooth is trying to come thru. At 9 months she has 3 teeth, can say 10 words, some of her words are clearer than others, she's crawling (still doing the army thing) and will stop in the middle of the floor and stand up with her legs and keep her arms on the floor so she's a framed its so funny, she can drink from a sippy cup, and still is sleeping all night with the exception of the past few nights that she's been sick. She loves to stand in her crib and gets in the standing position all by her self. She loves giving kisses and is such a sweet loving girl!!! She hates potatos but loves squash and pears! She's still a grandpas girl 100% mommy and daddy's girl is about equal and we are looking forward to her 1st Christmas. We are doing 9 month pictures next Sunday. She goes for her 9 month check up on Thursday!!! She had a blast on her 1st Thanksgiving at Grandma Littles house (i'll put up pics in a few days) she was in the walker running from one end of the house to the other and laughing the entire time!!! She's just such a happy baby and such a joy we are truly blessed to have such a angel! Oh and she's going to be the BEST big sister ever!!! Yup a big sister ALREADY! Lol!!!
Have a great day!!!

And the Winner is...

My How Time Flys

Ok well I just found out last Saturday I'm pregnant again! Well its a true blessing and once I got over the shock I thanked God that he has blessed me again with another prince or princess. But I started to feel guilty about my princess is only 8 1/2 months old I've cut her being my baby short b/c now there is a nother baby on the way. So every time I see her now I just hold her even though she wants to g in the walker I can't stand to put her down b/c the last thing I want to happen is when the baby comes for her to feel like the baby took her place becauuse that is not the case at all!!!!!! I will love my babies equally and I am excited about having a new baby nervous and scared b/c its hard enough to have one now 2 wow I give all you moms that have more than 1 props. Its so hard to have 1 and well I'm joining that club with 2 in July 2009 so pleae pray for me and my family and I'll be putting up new posts as soon as I can I have my first ultra sound on Dec 3. Thanks everyone!!!!
