9 Months in... 9 Months out!

Today Brinley is exactly 9 months old! I can't believe how much she has grown and changed in just those 9 months.  She is moving around so much. We have  definitely had to do some more baby proofing, including using our ottoman to block the kitchen. She has brought us so much happiness. We have loved having her in our family.

She claps!

She just started clapping today, without me even prompting her.

Fun in the grass

I took Brinley outside today and got some cute pictures of her playing in the grass. She usually doesn't like it, but I guess she is starting to.

It is very hard to get a picture of this, especially on my own, but this was Brinley standing on her own for about 3-5 seconds before going down. I can't believe how close she is to standing on her own!

This is her typical shot, with one finger in the mouth.

This is the scrunched up face she makes a lot when she is smiling. I think it looks very similar to the face I used to make as a baby, don't you think?

 Huh? Just love that face!
