9 months old means you've been out longer than you were in. That fact is still hard for me to wrap my head around. I mean 9 months ago we welcomed you into the world and after 10 long days in the NICU we welcomed you home. Home ...Where you have continued to make us smile and keep us on our toes, even more than your brother did or does.
You're pulling up on everything and anything these days and just recently you've started letting go and trying to balance. I imagine you'll be walking before your first birthday, that should be fun. You also have really found your voice and not just for crying, you found it for that not long after you entered the world. You're always babbling and cooing and laughing. You LOVE to laugh, sometimes at nothing at all. I hope you keep that quality about you. The ability to laugh at life will make your disappointments easier to handle and your successes that much sweeter.
As I look forward to the next 3 months before you turn 1 I can't help but wonder about the little girl that you're sure to become. Will you be as laid back as your brother was at 1? I somehow doubt it but that's okay. How will your relationship with your brothers develop. I worried that the Bean wouldn't adjust to you being here and in his space but oh how he adores you and your older brother feels the same.
9 months doesn't seem long enough for me to love you the way I do but really I've loved you since you we're conceived. The baby girl I prayed and wished for. I love you forever and always sweet girl.
