9 Months Old



Today Miss Zuri is 9 months old. Now that is crazy talk. She is the cutest thing and brings so much love and laughter to our little family. Most of the time she is such an easy going baby.

She loves to observe everything that is going on around her and is most happy when we are on the go. Frankly, I think she finds hanging out with just Mom at home to be pretty boring. When we go to pick up Rori at school we have to wait for her in the foyer area. When Rori and her classmates round the corner to walk down this long hallway towards us Zuri will let out a little squeal of joy and kick her legs like crazy. She also adores her big brother and finds everything he does to be fascinating.

Zuri's new tricks include army crawling all around the house (especially fast towards the things she knows are naughty like outlets, her brother and sisters stuff, etc.), pulling off her socks right after they are put on her, riding around like a big kid in the shopping cart cover thing my friend Jen is letting us borrow (LOVE this thing), and eating more softer finger foods and yogurt.

Zuri has been fighting another cold/ cough for about the last week and when she isn't feeling well she is more inclined to let us know about it. She tends to go on bottle strikes, decides to not sleep quite as well as usual, and just becomes a bit more fussy about things when we aren't on the go. Perhaps, we notice it more because she is so good when she is well. I can't wait to get out of sick season for good. Yuck! She seems to be feeling a lot better today (although the bottle is still a battle) so I'm hoping we are on the mend.

Oh how we love this little one- that grin, those eyes, and such sweetness. I just want to suck it all in as time is passing so quickly.

Here are a few more shots of our cute Zuri:
