Leaping Forward: Last Post from Baltimore

Well, packing ends tonight, moving starts tomorrow. So long Baltimore. It's been a really fun ride. So many memories that I will look back on and laugh about forever. I hope I've made just as lasting of an impression on you, as you have on me!

My living room that is barely walkable thanks to all our stuff :)

Cleaning out my dresser with help from my mom, who will kill me if she sees this

On the upside of thing, the Peanut turned 9 months old today! This month has been filled with just as many learning experiences and curves as last month!

This month the Peanut has learned:

So big! She's so cute with her little arms held high in air.

To move. She is mobile! It's not exactly traditional crawling but she's moving...forward instead of backward.

About books. She is really into books. She loves turning pages and looking at the characters on the page.

To blow raspberries and it is so funny to watch her.

To wave! She is a pro at waving hello and goodbye, especially to daddy.

New words. She can say hi, da da, ma ma, tuck and she is constantly "talking" to us.

Still no sippy cup. Girlfriend loves the bottle and hates the sippy cup.

Still no "real" solid food. She isn't a fan of textures and prefers the purees over anything with consistency. We will be chatting with Dr. Lake about that on Tuesday at her 9 month appt.

This month she will be:

Taking her first plane ride to visit Aunt Christen and family in Florida! Fingers crossed for a successful plane ride.

Visiting a zoo for the first time and going swimming...all while visiting Aunt Christen :)

Starting a new morning routine since I will be commuting an hour to work. We might get a bed time routine established because our mornings will be much earlier/crazier.
