months 7, 8, 9

obviously i've gotten a bit behind on matilda's first year, so i'll just stick to some of my favorite photos. major events include: 4 more teeth, sitting up, clapping, talking, eating lots of food and loving all of it, more blond hairs, and just being the sweetest baby i know. love you so much!





















now can we all say a prayer it doesn't rain during matilda's birthday party on saturday?

When Matilda met Roshi

Matilda had never met a kitty.
She didn't know what to do with Roshi...
So she drop kicked him.
Roshi just wanted to snuggle. Sorry Roshi.

I resisted this

For 8 whole months, but honestly how could I deny my child and Grammy and Lynndaddy such joy? Now where to hide it put it...











I will say that in just a few short days Miss M has figured out how to put her pacifier in her mouth (score one for us!), how to jump, how to accidently hit the music buttons, and she is waving more and more. Thanks baby einstein!

Matilda is eight months today.
She is the most delightful baby/person. I seriously cannot imagine a sweeter soul. She is up for anything. She smiles at everyone who comes her way. She is patient, unless it comes to getting a bottle and there is a little huffing and puffing once it's in view. She is sitting up like a champ and very curious. She is loving and brings my heart to the fullest gratitude every time I see her little face.
and Sam. I love him. Alot.
thank you Grandmother and Grandaddy for this adorable suit. we love you so.
