Happy 9 months!!

Ryleigh - You're 9 months old today!!  This is what you looked like this time last year...

You're growing into such a beautiful girl -

You weigh 18.5 lbs (48th percentile) and are 28.3 inches long ( 79th percentile).

We love that you enjoy books so much. They keep you entertained when you are playing by yourself and you think turning the pages while we are reading to you is one of the best things ever. We hope your Bible is your "go to" book as you get older and that every story there leads you into a passionate love relationship with your Creator.

Music must constantly be playing in your head because you dance no matter where you are or what else is going on.  The smile on your face tells us that you are already making joyful noises to your Father in heaven.

Just recently you've decided that you know how to get from a sitting position to laying down and you love doing so.  If there is something you want to have that's out of your reach - you squirm/army crawl until you have it.  However, being up on your feet is your favorite way to travel - you do still need help from daddy or mommy or atleast a toy!

You're a bundle full of giggles whether you are in the bathtub or in the pool.  Water just makes you laugh and you love splashing around.  Playing peek-a-boo with your daddy and singing with mommy are 2 of the highlights of your day. 

You are such a happy baby and are sleeping 12 hours every  night - except when those teeth are coming in.  Speaking of teeth you developed a mouth full this month!  4 have come in up top and 2 more are making their way in on the bottom.

We have enjoyed the past 9 months more than you know and pray daily that you know you are loved - not just by us but by your Amazing Savior.  His joy is so evident in your smiles and giggles - we anxiously await the day that you will know Him personally.

We love you baby girl!
