It seems like the theme of each blog recently has been "things have been busy"...but things have been busy. And, I have to admit, the thing preventing me from updating the blog recently was that I haven't updated the blog recently and would have too much to report and that the entries wouldn't be in order. Then I remembered that this is a BLOG and read by people who want to hear about Ella J and not her mom's neurotic thoughts, so on with the update.
Ella J has sprouted into a lovely little 9 month old. She sits, she crawls, she pulls up, and she gets into cat food. She has a very happy disposition when her two top front teeth that are growing in simultaneously don't get her down. They have finally popped through and boy are they cute! She's got a big ol' gap between them. (We're starting a braces savings account). She's shy about showing them, so we don't have any photos yet.
Her favorite song lately is Itsy Bitsy Spider and we think that she sings it on her own when she wakes up in the middle of the night and her boring parents won't play with her. She claps and she likes to stick her finger in people's mouths. She's super interested in basically anything that is a choking or electrical hazard.
She's started eating baby food two or three times a day. We've found some really yummy baby food and she's started actually attempting to use the spoon herself while she's eating things like roasted bananas and brown rice or carrots, apples, and mangoes.
She is so wonderful and we have so much fun together. She's such a great baby and makes all errands fun (well, most errands:) Today we're off for Ella J's first trip the farmer's market downtown while Dad installs an attic ladder in the ceiling for our stuff so Ella J can have more room to play around.
Ella J: 9 months
