Eleanor at 9 Months

Our sweet Eleanor Jane. Oh what a delight you are. You brighten my day with your gummy grin and your beautiful big blue eyes. It does not take much to make you smile or laugh. You are happy most of your day and can be easily consoled if something upsets you.

You are on the brink of crawling. You scoot your little booty into the air and grunt rearing to go, but just haven't made that first move yet. You are still working on coordinating your arms and legs and are so motivated! Any day now you will be off. It will then be time to baby proof our home once again.

You like to sit and take it all in and are so easily entertained by your big brothers. They are so in love with you. You are definitely more trusting of Everett, but have warmed up to Hampton now as well. You just don't appreciate his big bear hugs and he tends to topple you over a bit too much. He just loves big.

You stop strangers with your beauty. Your big blue eyes are so captivating, but your personality is truly beautiful as well. You are a sweet soul.
 
At 9 months you now weigh 17 pounds 16 ounces and are in the 25th percentile for your weight. You are almost 29 inches long and are in the 75th percentile for your height. Your head circumference is in the 95th percentile! What can I say? We have big headed babies.
You are becoming more adventurous with eating. Last night Daddy fed you black beans and you loved them! Today you tried little bits of cheese. You do not care for fruit, but love most vegetables. You must not have a sweet tooth like your Mama!
You fit perfectly into our family. I can tell already that you will be running around with the boys when you're able. Your grin at them and then scoot your booty as if trying to go and join the fun.
Oh Eleanor Jane. This past 9 months have been nothing but pure joy and I am giddy in love with you.
