helen turned nine months yesterday and i can't believe how quickly time has passed. every day she does something new and i marvel that she's becoming a 'real' person. her infant stage seems like such a blur.
she's pulling herself up and trying to take some steps now. she claps and mimics, she loves to hear songs and she's started dancing to music. she talks by sticking out her tongue and speaks gobbledy gook. she wants to touch everything and doesn't like missing anything. sometimes i find her in a corner with her books, already interested and turning the pages. she has the sweetest voice and i love that she says 'mama' now when she wants to be picked up. she's a cuddler and when she's tired, she'll find her blanket and lie peacefully on her tummy. she loves her family - she absolutely lights up when any of us come into the room - and we all love her so much.
she still doesn't like grass though.
