Wow, I can't believe it! Hannah is 9 months old today! Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday I was meeting my precious baby girl for the first time!
We had a really nice day together & didn't do too much since it was chilly, gloomy and rainy here today. This morning a little while after she got up Hannah pulled herself up on the coffee table! She's been pulling up on things that are lower to the ground like her chair in her room, me, her Leap Frog table & in her crib for a few weeks, but today she braved the coffee table. She's such a little explorer & tests her little limits every day. That being said, I'm pretty positive that she will be walking before her birthday.
It did clear up a little later in the day & when daddy came home from work, we took Hannah to Old Navy & Borders & got her a new outfit (like she needs it) & a few new books for her 9 month birthday. She's always such a good girl when we take her out places. I think she enjoys getting out of the house & seeing & doing new things. We've always taken her places with us though so I think she's just become accustomed to it. No matter what the reasons, I'm so thankful that we can take her places & not have to worry too often about whether or not she's going to have a melt down.
When I sit back & think about how much she has changed & grown, it just blows my mind. I mean just 9 short months ago, she was this little person who just laid there and slept on my chest, nursed every 3 hours or so and needed my constant attention. Now she's all over the place, and when I say all over the place, I mean it! She crawls, plays and explores all day long. Some days I wish that I had half of her energy, if so, my house would be much cleaner and things would get done that's for sure! The way I see it though is that there will always be plenty of time for those things to get done, right now I really try to put my focus solely on Hannah & making sure that she feels just how loved she is & has fun playing with mommy. When I get frustrated with not being able to get things done around the house & whatnot, I try and remind myself of those that have lost their little ones or those that long for a little one to be there to get things messy or keep them from being able to do their housework. I never want to let myself forget just how truly blessed that I am to be Hannah's mommy.
Life is truly a miracle and I often still find myself almost not believing that at one time she was just a tiny little person in my belly. I have been so blessed & forever changed by this little girl & I couldn't imagine life without her!
Happy 9 month Birthday, Hannah! Mommy loves you more than you will ever know!

I love that you are blogging now! In this crazy life, I know I don't have as much time as I would like to keep up with what is going on in people's everyday lives, but this helps keep kind of close to you :)
ReplyDeleteYou are doing an amazing job, and Hannah will appreciate all the time you are spending with her. As hard as it can be some days, you are doing wonderfully to keep your focus on how blessed you are. It does go SO fast. I cannot even believe my Harmony is almost FIVE...it seems like yesterday that I was sitting with her in the rocking chair singing songs over and over and making her grin little toothless grins. It goes much too quickly. Savor every single second. :) :) :)
