8 Months March 2013

Our little baby is almost nine months old! She is growing so fast and doing so many new things. She is very mobile now and crawling around everywhere. She is able to open almost all of the cupboards and drawers and loves to pull everything out. She has attempted to stand on her own although she usually gets nervous and sits down before she realizes she could probably stand easily all by herself. She can say "dada" "mama" and "baba." It melts my heart to hear her say "mama" I've been anxiously waiting for that! :) In the middle of the night when she wakes up she will usually start to cry and before long I hear "mama, mama," she has me figured out and knows I can't ignore that sweet little voice. Everyday we fall more and more in love with this little girl. We love the little personalty that is evolving in her and she always has us laughing at something funny she is doing. We just can't get enough of her! Alee is a very busy girl and keeps us on our toes. She loves to explore and find new things to play with. Everytime Todd goes into the office it's not long before Alee is crawling right behind him. She loves to go in dads office and play with the printer and push all the buttons. :) Alee is such a smart girl! Anytime we start singing patty cake she knows and she'll start clapping her hands. Right now her daddy is teaching her to hold one finger up when he says one. She's not quite got it but i'm sure it won't be long ...baby einstein on our hands.
