Your 9 month birthday was 5 days ago & I can't believe you have been in the outer universe now as long as you were in the inner universe! Its amazing to me to look back at pics of when you were born & see how TINY you were....wow.It seems like just yesterday you couldn't even hold your head up.
Gradually, we marked the days with you and your little funny personality started coming out right away. This pic is the first morning I really got a good smile & reaction out of you. Not even two months old & already hamming it up for the camera & for mama.
Now, a mere 7 months later, you are eating O's with your own hands, candidly engaging the camera every time I pick it up, saying DaDa, Hi & something that sounds like "who's that" (hoozzat). You are waving hello & goodbye, crawling, sitting, dancing while you sit to your favorite songs, Manamanah, El Paso & swimming up a storm.

I have definitely been challenged beyond anything I have ever known in this life & have had to dig deep into some unknown reserve of grace & will to get through some days. But I also know I have never loved like this before & am destined to be wrapped around your finger......look at those teeth. Who could resist????

Gorgeous girl and lovely post Heather!
You, in your mother self always say exactly how I feel in my mother self. I can't wait to be home with you sharing mothering.Blissing out in the moments of joy and holding hands when we must dig deeper than we imagined...And witnessing Stella's every change, mood and phase~ love all three of you.
She's unbelievably adorable! Later I'll start complimenting some of her other qualities (intelligence, fortitude) but for now...CUTE!
