Nine Months

We took Baby Measuring Bear on the road today to celebrate Evangeline's 9th month. We went to the Greensboro Arboretum, which is nestled under huge power lines, right next to a noisy highway. It was lovely if you take away the traffic noise and feeling of being made radioactive via electricity. The weather was beautiful and there was even a hint of autumn in the air. Happy 9th month! We love you, Girl.
(There are too many pictures here. I really do think less is probably more, but more is easier than trying to decide which to put up. I hope her aunties and grandparents don't mind.)

She shared her car seat with BMB on the way there. 

Evangeline was more hands-on this time around.

We were sure to get the stroller wheel in the family portrait.

"Junior Woman's Club"? Does that mean me?

What Evangeline is doing at nine months:

Eating just about everything right now 

(especially cheerios and yogurt and Baby Mum-Mums and liking stuff with garlic)

Not liking me to feed her

Dancing a lot

Laughing and smiling a lot

Sleeping about 10 hours straight (and sometimes not)

Saying Dada and Mama

Pulling Up on Things

Being Grouchy and getting frustrated

Crawling

Pointing

"Reading"

Playing with books

Still no teeth

Stops doing something when we tell her no (we're really trying to enjoy this)

Hanging her head after we tell her no

Watching a bit of Yo Gabba Gabba

Grabbing at the blinds when she's supposed to be napping

Not napping

Being cute

Going  to run errands with dad

Looking pitiful so that dad will pick her up
