Newsletter Month: 9

Louise - you are now nine-months-old. I can see your first birthday in the distance - yikes! You are changing at warp speed these days. Stop it would ya?

There are seven teeth in your little mouth and you love to show off those pearly whites. Thankfully you seem to be on a teething break though of course that doesn't stop you from putting everything.in.your.mouth. And you have a knack for seeking out the tiniest thing to potentially choke on. We are constantly monitoring what is in your mouth. Your brothers legos are often the culprit...

Over the last two weeks your gross motor skills have kicked into overdrive. First you began to pull yourself up to your knees, then about a week ago you managed to pull yourself up to a wobbly stand. A few days ago we watched as you cruised along the coffee table! You are changing so rapidly and we anticipate you walking soon. You are so funny to watch as you crawl into a downward dog yoga pose or walk like an elephant...hehe.

Hearing your giggle is one of my favorite sounds. Elliot can still make you chuckle but your daddy and I can now produce one occasionally. And we have discovered you have as many tickle spots as he does too! You are so loved and we are delighted to watch you grow and changed everyday. Love, Mama
