Nine Months on the Eve of Christmas

You are nine months today and it's been a celebration of grand proportion. In honor of your birthday and because me and dad just couldn't wait, you opened one of your Christmas presents early this morning. As expected the wrapping paper delighted you more than the gift but we are certain your new picnic basket will provide hours fun in the near future.


Your vocabulary is expanding! No longer stuck on the "Da Da Da"s, you have added the "Ma Ma Ma"s, the "Ba Ba"s and the "Fa Fa"s. You also give an occasional but enthusiastic "Yeeeeaaaaa" and happily put up a high five upon request (thanks Janma). Keep the sounds coming Delaney - your voice has such a sweet ring. In addition, you've recently mastered the front-to-back roll. You now can successfully obtain all out of reach objects, so no more mobile grunts of frustration. Yeeeeaaaaaa! In dietary news, your preferred munchies include Cheerios, blueberries and yogurt. Brown Bear remains your favorite book but if I had to guess, Where is the Green Sheep? is a close second.


Thank you Delaney for your abundant smiles and laughs - each little giggle and toothless grin melts my heart.
