I waited well into your 9th month to write your letter, but boy am I glad I did. There is so much changing about you! You have continued to amaze me with how much you're growing and learning each day.
You're sitting up all by yourself now..
This is something you have been working on in physical therapy. Which you are doing fantastic with, by the way. You work hard during your short time there, often leaving tired from your little workout session. It's paying off, sweet girl.
Since you've mastered rolling, you now use it to get anything you have your eye on. You can make it across the room in a matter of seconds. It has become a great source of entertainment for us. Who needs crawling when you can just roll?
You babble and chat with anyone who will lend you an ear. We are constantly repeating "momma" and "dadda" to you hoping you will pick it up. You are trying, for sure. And your dad is certain you said "dadda" today.
At your 9 month well check you weighed 11lbs 13oz and measured at 24 inches long. You are still petite, just barely making it onto the charts for your adjusted age of 6 months. Your head, though, is right up there on the charts with the big kids..your daddy says you get that from him. :) You're filling out your carseat more now, though. Such a difference from when we first brought you home..
You think your sister is pretty great. You get so excited when she talks to you and plays with you. You watch her closely taking in her every move..

| She gave you just the reassurance you needed the other day--those leaves aren't all that scary! In fact, they're kind of fun! :) |
You love to eat. Cereal is still your favorite. We usually just mix your fruits in, since you don't seem to like those as much.
Bathtime is your favorite time of the day. You LOVE the water. You kick and splash and talk. You especially love it if your sister takes a bath with you. You think this is pretty fun and you like to mimic her when she splashes.
It has been so fun watching you grow and learn these last 9 months. What a joy you have been..We are so very thankful for you.
We love you, Lillian Faith.
Happy 9 Months!
