9 months

indesign is back up and running; and for that, i am grateful. our little 9 months old enjoys any and all foods. she hasn't quite figured out the opposable thumb, so she grabs the food, squishes it in her fist and then proceeds shove her entire hand in her mouth and scrape off the food. still no teeth (she's asking for her two front teeth for christmas). still no crawling (we're just fine with that). she is rarely found with her mouth closed and is always talking or singing (or yelping). she loves shaking her head no and loves when we say bye bye or play peek-a-boo and pat-a-cake. she enjoys books more and more every day and gets so calm when i sing to her. her smile is contagious and she seems to make friends wherever she goes. she is such a blessing.
