I love you ... Week 38

>

You are nearly 9 months now~! Just a little over a week and I will never have an "8 month old" Again..
that is how I often look at your growing up. I remember, you were 11 days old, still in the hospital and Daddy and I were spending the day with you. Him and I stepped out for lunch and as we were sitting there.. I started crying. He asked me why I was crying and I exclaimed "She will NEVER be 11 days old again" now, here you are 38 weeks... nearly 9 months have passed!

Your third tooth broke through.. Its a doozy. and looks so random but, its cute none the less.
Your hair gets longer every day... I even attempted pig tails.. they are sad and sorry *pics below* but, it means it wont be LONG!
its not curly in the back like your sisters was.. I wonder, hers was REALLY curly but its straight now, I wonder if yours will be straight, and then turn curly? We shall see.
You got your first "shiner" this week.. I know, I know, all kids get bumps and bruises... but the FIRST is always toughest on me. I cant look at your sweet face without wincing at it... you, dont mind, of coarse, and you will probably have more.. I hear "its not the last" often but, its the FIRST and that makes me sad.

I love you because.....

You let me put your tiny bits of hair into pig tails with little fuss.. and then let me snap fifteen hundred pictures of the cuteness... ( Yes, I am aware that they are SAD SAD excuses for pigtails.. but, they are exciting) ... you can see her first boo boo too :(



You scream like you are being tortured in a bath.. but, as soon as I take you out.. you are your happy self!
