Mabri is 9 months!

Wow! Mabri turned 9 months old on April 5th! I can't believe how time flies! It seems like just yesterday that we were bringing her home from the hospital. Now she is this little person with a personality! We will go for her 9 month check up on Monday and I will share stats and pictures! There were times those first few weeks that I thought I couldn't handle it! I kept wondering when it would get easier. I feel so silly now. My baby is a beautiful growing girl! She is crawling everywhere and pulling up on everything! She is even trying to stand on her own. She is also finally starting to pick up some of the signs that I have been teaching her. It is amazing how fast they pick up on things. She is also very talkative. I know, I know. No one is surprised. She is my daughter!

A funny thing happened earlier in the week. I went to pick Mabri up at daycare and Mary (our wonderful childcare provider) informed me that my sweet baby girl had her first kiss! Hannah has dubbed her "the boy kisser". Apparently she was kissed first by one of the little boys and she grabbed his face and kissed him back. You know the kiss. The open mouth baby kiss. I couldn't wait to get home and tell Dad! He gave her a good talking to. Let's see if it works!
