It’s official. She’s growing and exploring and learning and will soon be a toddler.
She has a tooth. Granted, she’s 9.5 months old so it’s no surprise or shock. But, I am in love with her gummy grin and it will soon look different. It’s probably a good thing, though, because no matter what delicious homemade baby food I prepare, she much prefers to feed herself. Here she is enjoying some fruity Cheerios!
The tooth wouldn’t be so bad if she hadn’t taken her first steps last weekend. Yes, she took two little steps all on her own. My husband and I watched in disbelief. I’m fairly certain she’s no where near actually walking – she can’t even really stand. She just has no fear and goes for it. Sometimes she gets a few steps in and other times she lands on her bottom immediately. One thing is certain – it’s only a matter of time until she is walking. And, with that I think my baby will be a toddler.

My sweet baby girl. Little one’s growing up is so bittersweet, isn’t it?

September 10, 2009Yes it is…. You get all excited to see the next phase, but all the time you know that you've just lost that little helpless baby phase… Thank goodness for pictures. And blogs.

September 11, 2009I know exactly how you feel. Our youngest and last child is 9.5 months old. She doesn't have any teeth yet, but boy are they coming. And she is also learning how to take steps. She is standing all by herself and can get herself into a standing position. She has taken up to 10 steps without falling. They grow up way to fast. Before we know if they're in school.
