9 Months and growing

Hannah is 9 months old now. She just keeps growing and changing. Hannah is such a happy baby, I don't think I can say that enough. She is so sweet, has the sweetest smile. Hannah seems to be learning a new "trick" all the time. She can clap and loves to clap at herself. She will tell us "more", which is big step. Hannah keeps us busy with going everywhere, we have started closing doors because she thinks it's so much fun to go where she's not supposed to, plus she's so curious. She likes to play get you, she'll crawl away a little bit and then stops and looks to see who is going to get her. When you start to chase her she just stars laughing so hard she goes flat on her tummy. Hannah will crawl under the coffee table and go around the couch to the side table and go under there and wait until someone looks at her and she laughs because she is so proud of herself. Hannah pulls herself up onto everything she can and walks around it. If it's something that can move she tries to push it and move it. When Hannah gets out of the bath, she will put the towel over her face to play peek a boo and she will do the same thing when she has a longer shirt or dress on. Hannah does talk a lot. We wonder what she is saying sometimes and know the days of none stop talking are to come. This is just a such a fun age. She gets excited to see us when we've been apart or just when waking up in the morning or from a nap. Mornings are a fun time to cuddle and just spend quality time. Even feeding times are sweet times not to take for granted. I'm not sure what the best part of the day with Hannah is. I mean each is a time to cherish. Bed time is a time I look forward to as well. Not because she's going to bed, but because we get to rock Hannah to sleep. She just lays her head on our shoulder, puts her fingers in her mouth and we just sing and rock her to sleep. It's hard to put her down in bed at times. Hannah is such a sweet baby and I thank God every day that she is in my life.
