9 Months Strong!


Our sweet angel is 9 months today! She's been busy growing, learning and having fun. There is just about no food that Vivian won't try or turn down. Asparagus, pasta, hummus, peppers, avocado, quinoa, roasted carrots, pesto, egg and cheese omelets, pickles, squash, cheerios, I could go on and on, she loves it all. All that food and momma's milk is feeding her body and mind. Here's what she's been up to.
*As you already know, she has started to walk. Everyday she gets more confident and more balance.
*She has also mastered going to sleep by herself. We still have a pretty set routine but I don't have to rock or nurse her to sleep anymore. This is a huge accomplishment that accompanies only waking twice a night. Our next goal is to get her to wake only once.
*She loves to read and help turn the pages. This includes helping me open the mail and sift through magazines, which she usually just tries to shred apart and eat.
*We're working on sharing. She's getting pretty good at it. Of course she doesn't always want to share but I recently watched her grab Dyno's toy and take it to him. -No lie.- Speaking of Dyno, she thinks he is hilarious and they love to kiss each other. I have to work on getting a 'big brother, little sister' photo.
*Since we got back from Miami last month, we've been practicing swimming (kicking, splashing and getting comfortable in the water) and blowing bubbles. She's such a little fish, she loves the water!
*Her personality is really blossoming. She is sweet, confident, and inquisitive. And almost always SMILING. :-)

We're looking forward to many more accomplishments as we build up to her 1st birthday.

P.S. Thanks for being patient with my delayed and minimal posts as we've been moving and getting settled. Time to get back to regular updates and photos. We have a busy month ahead of us so there should be lots to come. Stay tuned.
