Nine Months Maebry

Our little Maebry Cakes is nine months old!

 

 

I have been putting off taking her nine month pictures,

because I wasn't sure what I wanted to do for them.

I got this navy blue dress I ordered, a while back, and decided I wanted her to wear it.

After my sister told me the 911 flags were up, I knew immediately I had to take her there.

I have been pretty obsessed with red, white, and blue since the 4th.

I was seriously excited to be able to do another patriotic shoot.

 

So, what's new with Maebry?

(This thumb picture just captures her so perfectly.)  

 

I really can't think of a ton of things that are different.

I'll just write about how she's been doing.

 



Maebry sucks her thumb ALL the time now.

It's not just for when she is tired!

I love it.

Her thumb keeps her so content and happy.

She is just the sweetest, most easy going baby around.

Her thumb only helps the situation.

 

 

She is always smiling and laughing.

 

 

Last week, Maebry and I were sick for about five days.

We were both so exhausted and just feeling super gross.

The only good part of it was that Maebry and I cuddled the whole time.

She just laid on me and sucked her thumb.

It was a really great bonding time for us.

All that snuggling and quality time together really made me feel so close to her.

She doesn't always get a ton of one-on-one time with me,

because she's so easy going, and I try to split my time with older brother too. 

Those five days were nice to have.

(Never thought I'd be grateful for sick days!)  

 

 

I taught her how to clap her hands recently.

Every time you say "YAY!" she claps her hands with a huge smile on her face.

 

Still no official crawling from her.

She is pretty great at using her legs to scoot around the floor in an army crawl.

If she sees something she wants, she will find a way to get it!



 

She has really enjoyed her jumper lately.

At first she wasn't a fan, but now it's one of her faves.

 

 

She loves trying new foods.

I usually let her try anything she grabs at (as long as it's not dairy or peanuts.)

Guacamole is one of her favorites.

She also loves the veggie straws that I was buying for brother.

They have really helped her get better about not gagging on things.  

 

She still only has two teeth on the bottom.

There is a top one that is working pretty hard to stick out though.

She has been using those two little teeth to bite into food, but she has left Mama alone :)

 

Her baby squeals are still amazing.



 

She is so curious about everything around her.

 

 

Her big brother is realizing that she can actually be fun.

He loves making her laugh, and even includes her in our play now. 

I always catch him rubbing her head and giving her toys.

It's the sweetest thing in the world to see your children love each other.  

 

Happy nine months baby girl.

What a wonderful nine months they have been :)
