Fingerprints of God-Happy 9 Months!

I can not even put my mind around how 9 months have gone by since this precious angel came into our lives. When I found out that we were having a baby and did not even realize how much my life would truly change. I was terrified to have a 2nd child and now can't believe I even worried. I thought our family of 3 was complete, but soon realized one more person was missing. Audrey Caroline, you bring a smile to my face each day and warm my heart with yours smiles and laughter.

You are wearing 6-9 months in clothes and size 1 in shoes.You wear size 2 in diapers.

You love baby food, but not juice. We tried Puffs and bananas as part of introducing table foods. You have not interest. You lock down your mouth. You will not take a sippy cup either. You are stubborn or maybe just not ready to grow up..which I am honestly okay with.

You have not started crawling but want to so bad. We will be in trouble for sure when you do. So far you are good about not putting everything in your mouth, but I am sure that will change.

You are a fabulous sleeper in your own bed. Give you your lovey, some music and your thumb and you are asleep before I leave the room. I wished that you liked to cuddle sometimes, but you are not. I just have to squeeze you every chance I get.

You took your first plane ride and beach trip in June when we went to San Diego, CA on a work/family vacation. I know that you will not remember, but we took lots of pictures to show you when you get old enough.

You have started your separation anxiety, but only at church nursery. At daycare, you could care less when we drop you off, but you have the biggest smile when I walk in the door to pick you up.

Your personality is so fun. You laugh and giggle at about anything which makes your Daddy smile so big which if you only knew is a BIG deal. Speaking of Daddy, you are a Daddy's girl. I can't compete with him. You say Da-da all of the time. You have also said bye-bye and yeah when you clap your hands.

When I look at you

I can see the fingerprints of God

And I know it's true

You're a masterpiece that all creation

Quietly applauds

And you're covered with

The fingerprints of God

Never has there been and never again

Will there be another you

Fashioned by God's hand and

perfectly planned

To be just who you are

And what He's been creating

Since the first beat of your heart

Is a living, breathing

Priceless work of art

And I can see the fingerprints of God

When I look at you

I can see the fingerprints of God

And I know it's true

You're a masterpiece that all creation

Quietly applauds

And you're covered with

The fingerprints of God

Just look at you

You're a wonder in the making

And God's not through

In fact, He's just getting started!

Baby Girl, I love you more than I could ever describe or could never thank God enough for you coming into my life. I am so proud to be your mother and will sacrifice anything in this world for your happiness. Love you to the moon and back!
