9 MONTHS...and one week

Lil' Darla is 9 months! I know I say it every month, but really where does the time go!??  We are enjoying her so much!  She is at such a fun stage with smiling and laughing.  She totally digs her brother and loves her time with Alfalfa and Miss Rascal too!  She is becoming more interactive with Spanky, he loves to entertain her MOST of the time.  

She has two teeth on the bottom and must be working on some more but no visual signs just yet.  She is very vocal in what she wants.  She's pretty easy to understand and she's still pretty mellow for the most part.  She is a great sleeper...LOVE THAT!  She hasn't started crawling yet but she's getting pretty close...you'll see in the PHOTO MONTAGE that she's getting closer...just needs to take that first "crawl". :)  Currently though, she would just like to sit in one spot and if she needs something she will holler until you bring it to her.  

She is seriously a hoot when it comes to talking with her eyes.  She can see the whole room and tell you a story without moving her head, only her eyes.  She continues to be a daddy's girl.  She will be as loud as she can until she gets what she wants and that would be daddy!  She's a good eater...we've started doing more table food and she's enjoying that.  So much so many times if she doesn't really love her baby food, she'll let you know by blowing it back at you.  Yes, clearly she knows her manners! 

We are so blessed by all of our children and thankful for these fun days while the little ones are little...SO...without further a due...here are her's DARLA!
