Month-by-month- Month 9

I accidentally took your month-by-month photo today when you are actually 9-months tomorrow. Oops! I guess it's mommy brain. 

Ack, I just hate that I have 3 months left now before I go back to work. What am I going to do??? It was so hard when I had to go back when Aidan turned 1, but I think it will be harder this time around since you're my baby girl…

Aidan was being my photo assistant by trying to get you to smile for the camera. Being the goofball that he is he kept wanting to put on the bow that you had in your hair. Here is a quick snapshot I took of him after your photoshoot.

He just cracks me up.
Excuse the no pants in the shot. He was in the midst of stripping to go for his bath when I was
doing this photoshoot.

Daddy wanted to get in on the action. He just adores you. 

So here's what's new:

- You are an expert crawler now.
- You can pull yourself up by holding onto an object and you can also sit yourself down from a sitting position.
- I caught you yesterday standing still on your own without holding anything for 3 seconds in your play pen.
- You hardly take naps anymore. You now take 1-2 short naps during the day.
- You sleep at 8pm and wake up around 10am. I usually feed you at midnight to get you to sleep through the night.
- You never sleep when we go out anymore. I think you are too excited by everything that you see.
- The dress you are wearing in this photo is actually for 12 months so I think you're pretty big, but then again, you still look pretty small compared to other 9-month old babies…

On a completely different note, I took a cute video of Aidan spotting the red-haired girl (the Wendy's girl) while we were on the way to his Korean school. He is an absolute scaredy cat and he thinks that the Wendy's girl is scary because she is staring at him. He always screams when he sees her.
