Today we were able to meet my hubby for a quick lunch in front of the hospital, V gets so excited to see her daddy! It maketh my heart to be quite glad :) She starts waving her arms and laughing as soon as she sees him coming, ah pure happiness.
Fall is coming! The crickets have invaded our downstairs bathroom once again! They show up every year shortly before fall, and they get me all excited! (As long as they don't come out of the bathroom.) By the way, there must be a goodly sized hole somewhere, in order for them to get in. Anyways, I love fall (and the beginning of winter)! September 23rd through February 14th, is my favorite time of year! Can't wait to break out my Josh Groban Noel CD in just 2 weeks! V and I will put some fall decorations around, and burn some apple and spice smelling candles! Woohoo!
V is 9 months old (yesterday)! She has started doing so many exciting little things, she's been clapping for a while now, but lately if I just ask her to clap, she will! It's so exciting to see her learning the meaning of words. Not just copy me when I'm clapping, but know what the word "clap" means. This must all sound so silly, but it gets me pretty excited! Feeding her nowadays is so much fun too! She's eating all sorts of thins, blueberries, cottage cheese, peas, mango, lasagna, really! She gets a little of whatever we're eating, and mealtime is a blast! For breakfast every morning she has oatmeal, yogurt, and some kind of fruit. Yay for somewhat of a routine! (I LOVE routines.)
Any day now I'm going to go into her room to get her from a nap, and she'll be standing in her crib. Ah I want it all to slow down for a moment! Each stage has been just a little bit better than the last, I never would have thought that was possible! She follows me around the house, babbles to her toys, laughs at my silly faces, loves the song "Los pollitos dicen", ah and so many other cute things! It's an overwhelming feeling to look at her sometimes, and think, "did I really give birth to you 9 months ago?" This 100% complete human being, who relies on me ever so slightly less each day... is so much more amazing than I ever would have thought! My husband and I both wonder what we thought was cool before we had her, raising V has been more wonderful and fulfilling than either one of us could have imagined. Every day we're both more thankful for her.
*Sniffle.
OK I'm all done now.
Hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend!
