Leaps and Bounds

Our little Bekah Jane is changing so fast I can hardly keep up with her! She started crawling over a month ago (right when she turned 8 months), and a couple weeks later started to stand! Now she is into everything and doing a pretty good job keeping up with her brother! Just the other day I left her in the nursery and the workers said to me "She seems so little and petite, but she can hold her own. She kept stealing the other babies' pacifiers! " Yeah, don't be deceived by her sweet face - she is an aggressive little thing! (They also told me that Ezekiel was very protective of his baby sister, which was sweet to hear).

In other developments...She is "talking" to herself and to us all the time, and she makes the sweetest little sounds. I love listening to her as she plays. And, about a week ago, she cut her first tooth (I was beginning to wonder where they were!). At her 9 month check up, she clocked in at a little over 17 lbs.... our little peanut.

I love seeing her personality come alive - a little feisty, a bit mischievous, super silly, assertive, and oh so loving. She's becoming more of a "daddy's girl" every day. When he gets home from work and picks her up, she lays her head and his shoulder and puts her arms around him. Crazy about her daddy. We are both falling more in love with our baby girl every day!

Some pics of our girl on the go!












All tuckered out. Night, night little one.

I can't believe how much she's changed since you guys were here in July. They grow up so fast! She's such a cutie pie!
