Marvelly

9 Months

Still sitting
not crawling
thinking about crawling
gets a little bit closer everyday
loves to eat
started boycotting her formula
loves to eat everything but her formula
laughs when she pulls her socks off
no teeth
thinking about growing one soon
started sleeping on her side
can finally see over her high chair tray
likes to torture Sydaleigh already
tries to steal all her toys
tries to steal everyone's toys
dances whenever she hears music
favors eating crayons, paper, window blinds, my face, her feet, and the cats
flaps her arms and legs up and down when she's excited
considering being a bird when she grows up
grunts, squeals, sputters, spits
laughs, gurgles, and makes a cool monster voice
thinks her family is the best thing since sliced bread
not a big crier
unless Sydaleigh resteals her toys from her
melts into her Daddy's chest
melts into my left shoulder
been sick three times
uses her pincher fingers to feed herself
splashes is the bath like there's no tomorrow
feet are finally big enough to wear her newborn socks
growing at her own slow and steady pace
still bite size
