How is Kirby Rose already nine months? There is no way ... I blinked and all of a sudden here it is. This is a few days late, so let's pretend it is the 23rd. Nine and a half months ago (at 34 weeks) Kirby was already in position and I was between a 2 and a 3. I prayed and prayed I could make it to the start of school so I could meet all of my students. She stayed there for another week. I had contractions and then I thought for sure I was going to have her when my father-in-law flew over what I swore was the roughest railroad tracks in the whole wide world. I prayed some more as the first day of school came that I would make it through the day. I left 7th period early, but darn it I met all my kids. That night, 9 months ago, we were blessed and completely surprised with a darling little girl. How our lives have changed in so many wonderful ways! Here is what taking her chair pictures at 9 months looks like ... not quite as easy as before!
Kirby surprises me with how she changes every single day. Just when I think she is focusing on one thing (crawling for example) boom, she is on to something else. Literally 2 days after she had "mastered" crawling, she was pulling up and standing while holding on to my legs. Usually every morning she is waiting
patiently at her crib, standing and holding on for dear life like she needs to be let out of jail. It is the cutest thing I have ever seen. We hear more and more "words" daily. She for sure says "momma" in a long drawn out accent. Kind of says daddy. Sounds out "all done". Says, "hey", very clearly. And this morning I could have sworn she said, "hey boots" to the cat. She has the most energetic spirit I have ever seen. She takes wonderful naps and still sleeps well at night, but when she is awake she is all over the place. Even when I hold her dearly to rock, she is still moving her booty and hips with the rock. Love it! Here are a few snaps of her talking to Boots through the window ... her new favorite activity!
