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?

9 months

Say what? My tiny little newborn is no longer a newborn. Matilda is 9 months today and I can't believe it. As the saying goes, it really does fllllllyyyyyyyyyy.



Notes of interest:-She loves to grab my jewelry and skake it from side to side.-Matilda gets funnier and funnier. Everyone laughs at her maniacal cackling she does as of late.-I want to inhale her. I kiss and goose and hug her all day long.-She's really getting in to water. We're doing a nightly turtle pool session.-Food is good and she knows it. Fruit is her fave. duh.-She has several playdates lined up and we're excited about it.-Sitting is an old hat. Some butt rocking, but no crawling.-Lots more movement in the crib and some bedfellows like the hippo to keep her company!-We love her so much.-Oh yea and the most important...lots of MAMA! yay!
