9 months in, 9 months out, it always seems like such a big milestone.

Another big milestone? Teeth! Look what popped through! And we are all much happier for it!

Who am I kidding? She’s pretty much always happy all the time.

At about 8.5 months we started her on solids. So far avocado, green bean, broccoli, applesauce, banana, carrot, and of course beet. All made by me and Bj. Easy, what ever we’re eating blended (Blendtec for the win. Fine you were right Bj, there I said it.). She likes it all A LOT. If that could be double caps I’d do it because she is a fan of the food. I was giving her solids with dinner, but I switched it to morning because it takes her a long time to process it. And she eats so so much I feel like she was getting too stuffed full before bed.

She started doing this adorable, “ba, ba, ba” thing. We can’t get enough. Bj, Tuesday and I spend half the time she’s awake saying ba, ba or other b words in the hopes she starts back up again. She’s napping most days, sometimes twice. She’s sleeping ok. It’s not great, it’s not terrible. I can’t move her into the girls’ room because Tuesday will wake her up at night. You read that right. We realized on a night away last week when we all spent the night in the same room together that Tuesday is a LOUD sleeper. She woke Bennet up with her dreaming mumbling speech. So not sure what to do about that… for now the crib is in the corner of our room and we don’t hang out in there a lot. I miss reading in bed.
I don’t know her stats, we go in tomorrow. I’m guessing based on the two similarly aged babies we played with today that she’s a 1%er. I’ll come back and update this part.
Basically we’re totally in love with her. But we’re tired and I’m selling the baby stuff. So as soon as she grows out of/stops using stuff I want it gone, gone, gone. Apparently sleep outweighs my desire for more children 🙂

Tuesday (age four) has never been that into drawing people. She’s a note girl. So I pretty much am in love with this.

“Girl with backpack” -
A perennial favorite (Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival). First way back in 2006 (by the way I totally thought he was going to propose that day. And also, whoa, I’ve been blogging for 8 years?!?!). The day I took the positive pregnancy test (that turned out to be Tuesday) in 2008 (also that closet is now stairs to our second floor). The first time I took Tuesday in 2010, and the last time I went in 2011. Oh time you crazy thing.

Two girls.

It was super sunny today and we loved it.

This is pre fall in the mud puddle.

This is post fall in the mud puddle. Bj was showing her a funny way to walk to try and coax her back up through the fields. He’s so great… his powers were not quite great enough for me to get a picture of Bennet in her Nana made dress in front of the flowers. But he did try to get her all smiley.

Hahaha, she’s such a crazy happy little thing.

Family photo! We’re thinking about getting those Queen of Night tulips (left side, dark purple) to mix with our other purple tulips in front of the picket fence. But I’m debating, they might be too dark… thoughts?
I’ll leave you with this:

Tuesday happy as can be just playing on this tube slide over and over. We were at the festival over an hour before she agreed to go walk among the flowers!
