9 Months!

 

Happy 9 Months to my little princess! I love you so much! I'm hoping one day she's a Razorback just like her momma and daddy!

-And what are monthly pictures without some of her crying? She hates having to lay down, I'm such a mean momma to try and make her every month! Hehe :)

We had her 9 month appointment last week and she weighed 19 lbs 12 oz, and is 28.5 inches long! So she has definitely slowed down in her growing, but that's okay! I'm sure she'll hit another growth spurt soon!

Blair is almost walking by herself! She can do it but she acts like it's so scary, haha. But when she's not paying attention she walks 3-4 steps and then realizes she's doing it by herself and sits down. She's so silly. She does great walking and holding one of our hands though!

-She has 3 teeth! Her two bottom and one of her front top (it's barely poking through!)

-She can say hi, bye, dada, and done! No longer is saying momma, which is sad :(

-She loves oranges.

-She loves french fries.

-She loves water.

-She loves to play with the magnets on the refrigerator.

-Obsessed with stuffed animals and dolls.

-Loves everything Disney princess, which is funny cause she's never watched t.v.!

-Loves to look through her picture books (it's the cutest thing ever!)

-Her favorite book is "On the Farm: Pop-up Adventure" we read it like 15 times a day (I'm not exaggerating)

-Loves going to the park and playing in the dirt and grass.

-Loves going for walks in her stroller.

-Loves wearing hats (just like her momma!)

-She's sleeping through the nights most of the time!

-Points at everything, waves "hi" and "bye", claps, plays peek-a-boo, gives high-fives, and talks non-stop when she's at home. But won't in public haha.

-Loves going to the library for bubbles and books!

-Loves bathtime.

-Gives the best kisses, and has started giving them to us without us asking! I love it!

Happy 9 Months again my love, life just keeps getting better and better!

 

Last of the Florida Pictures!

 

I can't wait to take her back to the beach! She loved it so much and the beach is ten times more fun with her! 

 

I seriously couldn't get enough of those sandy toes! Just the cutest thing. 

We tries to capture how beautiful her eyes truly are at dinner one night because the lighting was perfect....we kind of succeeded. And that was her face she was making for every bit of table food we tried to feed her, haha! Luckily she has grown out of that phase already.

Blair and I were trying to convince Jacob that she needed her first skateboard.....he wasn't convinced. Maybe in a couple of years!

Blair did such a great job traveling to Florida and back home. I'm very proud of her! I can't wait for our next adventure, we are thinking the mountains next time! I'm so excited!

I Love You to the Moon, but Further.

 

And I'd choose you;

in a hundred lifetimes,

in a hundred worlds, 

in any version of reality,

I'd find you and

I'd choose you.

Words can never describe the love I have for this little girl. She is so special to me. She is my sun, my moon, and all my stars. Jacob and I are so blessed that God gave her to us to raise up and that we get to watch her grow every day. I will never be able to thank him enough, even though I will every single day for the rest of my life.

Blair, 

Never settle for anything less than amazing. You are the most amazing person I've ever met, and I hope you will see yourself the way I see you when you get older. You are so beautiful and I love your spirit. I love your soul. I'm so excited to watch you blossom in life and I look forward to supporting you in all of you dreams and aspirations in life. I hope to always be the best momma to you because that's what you deserve. I love you more than you will ever know.

Day 2 in Florida!

 

Those sunnies lasted about 5 seconds, haha. And the only reason they lasted that long is because I was holding her hands! And that poor hat is done-zo, she threw it into the ocean one too many times!

She was very keen on us walking her along the beach on day two. She wants to walk so bad, she makes us walk her nonstop! Very tiring on a momma and daddy's back!

After the beach we went and took a nap. Then I cooked dinner and we went back down to the beach for the sunset. We taught Blair what the moon is! And now when you say, "Blair, where is the moon?" she will look up at the moon and most of the time will point at it! It's so cool! It's amazing how fast she in learning things!! 

And one of her most favorite things to do is ride on her daddy's shoulders. She would stay up there forever if we would let her!
