{elle at 9 months}
oh sweet elle belle - you are growing too fast my sweet pea.
cruising EVERYWHERE. you have managed to put an entire ball {mini} in your mouth, a bird ornmaent, walker's figurines that go with his geotrax and numerous other things...you definitely keep daddy & me on our toes!
I took you to Santa on Monday and you LOVED him - probably could have sat on his lap all day and were all smiles. i took you by yourself because walker was adamant that he was just going to tell santa what he wanted and didn't need to sit on his lap {last lap sitting was 2 years ago!}
words you currently say: dada {the most frequent}, dog, sun {daddy sings you let the sun shine in when he gets you in the morning or from a nap and now you request it by saying sun}, attempting "brother" and your latest SANTA! yes, you have said Santa before mama!
cute things you do: throw your arms up in the arm when you are all done with eating, clap your hands together for more, clap for yourself ALL THE TIME {which is so cute so we keep encouraging it}, played with your first baby doll {a hand me down from Walker} and attempted your first walking pushing the red radio flyer wagon that walker learned on when he was one.
Walker
first sleepover {we were still there but he slept in his cousin's room on air mattress with him for 1/2 the night}
what you are into these days: video games {ALL THE TIME whether it be iphone apps, your DS or a computer game}, Tom & Jerry {your favorite show by far and I love the way that it makes you laugh out loud - especially when we are riding in the car and you have your headphones on so all we hear are the occasional belly laughs from you}, playing with jonathan and claire at school {you tell me who you play with each day and usually it is jonathan but yesterday you said that you started with jonathan and then stopped to play with claire}, riding your bike {family bike rides are so much fun}, your dad {you can't wait for him to get home and he always puts you to bed and I can usually hear some sort of giggling or stories going on in your room}
you have the best manners - you always respond with yes ma'am and yes sir and say please and thank you. you definitely are a sweet soul and i am so happy to be your mama.
love these two.
