9 Months

So... I have a 9-month old now.

And she's kinda hard to catch sitting still so I can take her picture. Because she likes to stand up on things...

And then once you think she's ok... she decides to let go and one-hand it...

And then she's decided that she's over standing and she needs to come attack you...

And then when you move away from her she stops for a split second...

But then she realizes that you put a headband in her hair... and she really doesn't want to wear it anymore...

And when you put it back on she realizes there is a sticker on her shirt...

And then she discovers some lint that escaped your immaculate cleaning tendencies (uh... or something like that...)...

So you take away the lint so she doesn't eat it and she looks at you with sad eyes...

 

And you scoop her up to give her a snuggle and distract her from crying...

And you realize that you've just spent 20 minutes trying to take your 9-month old's picture and you never did get a cute sitting smiley pose.

Because that is life in your house.

So... here is life with a 9-month old!
