This month has been a busy one as Rylie has been on the GO! She is cruising, crawling, standing, pulling herself up, walking with fingers and other push toys, and babbling. Her favorite toys to walk and push are the Cozy Coupe and the shopping cart. Rylie enjoys playing in the water table, "organizing" the pantry, and "emptying" dishwasher. Rylie babbles several different consonant sounds and often plays with her voice with loud yelling. She turns towards us when we call her name. Its so sweet to watch her recognize familiar faces. When she sees pictures of Derek or herself or our family on the wall she points, has a huge grin and babbles something sweet. Rylie eats table food now, which has been so awesome...I LOVE to just make one meal that we can all share. Its so wonderful to put food on her tray and let her eat all by herself so I can do other things. I remember how freeing the first meal was when Derek, Rylie, and I all ate the same thing. Rylie will eat anything as long as she can put it in her mouth herself. Rylie sits in a big girl car seat now, still rear facing, (Derek got a new car seat that transitions into a booster and Rylie got his old one). She LOVES to be sitting in more of an upright position and can "play" with Derek during car rides. When she cries in the car Derek always says, "Rylie, its ok. Everything is going to be alright." Its totally what I say to her when she cries. Derek continues to be an amazing big brother. Today at lunch he thanked Jesus for our food saying, "Dear Jesus, Thank you for my lunch. And thank you for Mommy coming to see me. And thank you for Rylie. And thank you for my bike and apple juice! Amen." He is really great with her, even sharing his trains and trucks with her (the ones he is not playing with of course). Rylie definitely prefers to be held by Mommy, but is getting much better about letting other people hold her. She has been in church nursery now for about 3 months and the last 2 Sundays when we came to get her she was happy. We love our sweet baby girl and cannot believe how fast time is flying by. We are so blessed to be her parents.
At 9 months Rylie weighs: 16.8lbs and is 26.75" tall. She is our little peanut!!
