Nine months and counting...

Finn turned nine months old today!

She is such a happy-go-lucky baby and she certainly spoils us as much as we spoil her. This month was a full of fun for Finn:

• After lots of practice in months seven and eight, she mastered crawling and is now a "speed crawler" who is just itching for her chance at her first steps. She easily navigates the living room as a bi-ped simply by grabbing end tables, couches, and whatever else she can get her hands on. It is both amusing and amazing to watch her explore her environment.
  
• New foods this month included lots of organic fruits and veggies such as honeyrock melon, tomatoes, and strawberries (her favorite).
• First "independent stand" happened this week. Morgan squealed with excitement which, in turn, scared/surprised Finn and caused her to fall down. Ah, well. It was fun while it lasted.
• First trip to a golf course. Granted, she didn't do a whole lot besides watch her lame-o parents swing at and miss balls on the driving range (we did better on the putting green), but she loves being outside so she didn't mind a bit. Her Uncle Jay picked up the tab for the balls so that made it an even better family event!
  

And so, as we move on and look forward to her next milestone and all the joys that the future will bring, we pause to celebrate our baby girl and all that she has brought to our lives. :)
