9 Months

9 months! 9 months! Oh My God, you are 9 months old! How? When? How? I don’t know how all of a sudden you are 9 months old! 3/4's of your way to your first birthday. I bought an outfit today that I plan for you to wear at your birthday party, your first birthday is only 3 months away. Where have the last 9 months gone? I look back at the post since you were born and we have done so much and you have grown so much but I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that you are 9 months old.
Independent, you in one word. Aliya you have so much confidence. If you see something you want you go after it. Even if its out of reach, you reach for it. I hope that is a trait you take with you throughout your life. You are so curious about everything. You watch so intently and really try to understand it all.
I love you my princess, Happy 9 month birthday.
