Miss Bryn is 9 Months!

Dear Baby Girl Bryn,

I can't believe you are already 9 months. It really seams like just yesterday you were making your exciting appearance, yet it also seams like you've been a part of our family forever! I really mean that! Time goes by so fast with little babies and I can't believe you are fast approaching your first birthday. I so look forward to all the things to come...learning to walk, learning to talk, playing more, doing your hair...etc. But, I'm also sad that I can't remember exactly what you were like just a few months ago....good thing we have pictures and videos. Your personality is showing more and more every day. While other babies your age are going through stranger anxiety, you seamed to have gotten that all out of your system at an early age (like from birth to 4months) and now you're generally a very social, easy going baby...for the most part. You have been able to keep that certain spunk that you gave us a glimpse of on the day you were born. You are very social and you love attention. You play happy on your own for a while, but then you want someone to play with you. You like mommy and daddy, but you especially like Carson. He has always been a very sweet, gentle big brother to you and knows just what makes you laugh. You love his attention and he loves giving it to you! I really hope you two keep that bond forever! You are starting to get around more and more now. You still do this little army crawl/creeping thing, but you are getting rather speedy with it. You can get all around now and so we really need to start baby proofing the house. You actually pulled yourself up once just the other day! In your new mobile adventures, you love to find small things to stick in your mouth. We really need to watch you, I've already seen you try to "eat" a leaf, price tag, rock, wood chip, and other small things. Speaking of eating...you love eating! You eye our food all the time and now really enjoy eating small pieces of whatever we are having. You are a good eater and it shows (yep, you're a healthy size baby too!) You also are a great sleeper now...when you're in your crib that is. You still take 3 naps a day and sleep around 12hrs a night. For someone that loves attention, you don't really like to be rocked. This makes it easy to put you to bed at night, but that also means it is difficult to get you to fall asleep when we are away from your bed. You are great at sharing a room with Carson and sometimes you two won't go to sleep b/c you are "playing" and "talking" with each other. Carson likes to imitate your grunting noises and you play along with his game...so cute! You are getting cuter and cuter by the day! Your hair is growing nicely and I love putting a fun matching headband or bow in your hair. The one thing people always notice about you are your eyes. You have beautiful blue eyes. People comment that they are very sparkly...they really are! They have different shades of blue that really make them sparkle! You are a beautiful baby girl and I am soo glad you are mine! I love you baby Brynlee!
