9 Months Old

Time flies when you are having fun!! Eva has really developed this past month. She can feed herself, is babbling more and is cruising and crawling all over the place. She has also mastered opening and closing cabinet doors and drawers. She is finally getting into books and reading. Her favorites are "I Love you Through and Through", "Where is Baby's Belly Button" and "Peek-a Who?". She still loves music and will dance anytime she hears something with a beat! For a few weeks she was doing great with jarred baby food, but lately she won't have it. So we have been feeding her our food - mainly grilled chicken, rice, corn and bread. That girl LOVES bread. She also eats my baked oatmeal and oreos. She is pretty funny/frustrating when eating. She will put her hand in front of her mouth when she doesn't want anymore and will push the spoon away. Usually feeding time lasts over 20 minutes because she will continually change her mind about eating. She also thinks it is hilarious to drop food off the side of her highchair to the dogs waiting down below!

Gilbert is a wonderful father and loves spending time with her. He had his hours cut at work and is home with us all day on Mondays. Due to his company cutting his hours further, he is going to look for a second job. I am really going to miss all the family time we have right now. And I am still searching for a job. But trying to enjoy every second that I have with Eva. It is going to be really hard to leave her and go back into an office setting. I know that God has a plan for us - please continue to pray for our patience while he does his work!

She's growing up fast. Pretty soon she will be able to keep up with Sophia. That will make at least one person that can.
