Micaela is 9 Months Old!

Micaela turned 9 months old this week! She is a super happy baby who smiles and babbles all the time. When she gets really excited, she gets this huge smile and wrinkles her nose and squints her eyes! As you can see below.....

She likes to crawl – she gets around really well. She likes playing with her brother and sisters and she’s learned to protest if someone takes a toy away from her. She’s really personable and very easy going. She makes friends quickly! I’ve had so many people tell me what a good baby she is and they can’t believe she sits pretty happily throughout an entire mass. We’re expanding her food repertoire. The doctor said she can pretty much eat anything now, so we’re trying new things bit by bit. Frankie even let her taste ice cream for the first time!

Micaela is also starting to show signs of her first tooth! It’s a small little thing and you have to really look hard for it – but it’s there!

It’s been a quick and fun nine months and we’re all savoring every minute. When the kids really enjoy something, we always tell them to remember to say Thank You to God. So it’s funny to hear them shout, “Thank you, God, for ice cream!” or “Thank you, God, for bunny rabbits!”

So, Thank You, God, for every beautiful day that you give us!
