9 Months

The last nine months at the Brooks house have been such an amazing adventure that we wouldn't trade for anything in the world. Emerson has changed us in ways we never imagined. We always know that no matter what kind of day we have had, she can always bring a smile to our faces. It is so incredible to watch as she learns new things every day. She waves hi and bye, says Dadda, and after I stack her blocks and she knocks them down, she then tries to stack them herself. When she has had enough to eat, or doesn't like what I have given her, she shakes her head "no". She can stand by herself for a few seconds but when she realizes what she is doing she sits down really fast! We went for her check up today and she weighed 22 pounds(92%) and was 29.5 inches long(97%).

She FINALLY holds her own bottle even at home(she has been doing it at day care for months but had Mommy and Daddy fooled at home!)

If there is anything soft on the floor, she will just fall down and lay her head on it-folded laundry, blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, even one of her books that is fabric.

She takes laps from the living room through the kitchen and back with her push toy but still not walking by herself!

We can just sit and watch her no matter what she is doing!

I love the picture of her using her clothes as a soft place for her head! Too cute!
