Sam is 9 months!!!!!

Hey Sam! You made it to 9 months and you are doing so well! When I look at you I see our rainbow baby and am reminded of God's goodness and strength. You are truly a miracle and I love being your mommy. You fit right in with your brother and sister and we all adore you! Here is some more about you!

You have two teeth on the bottom and two on their way in on top. 

Your hair is still spikey in the back and you still have a few long baby hairs. 

You eat one solid meal each day but otherwise you are happy to just nurse. 

You are crawling!!!!!! Your first day of crawling was Nov 2 just after you turned 9 months. You are in to everything now! 

You still love your mama and love to be held. Every baby thing we own is sitting empty. I try not to get too anxious about it because I know it won't last forever and then I'll be wishing I was holding you in my arms. 

Your tear duct finally opened! No more goopy eye!

You love to swing out back in the baby swing. 

People describe you as intense and attentive.

They also say you are so happy...typically I follow up saying yes he is if he's been held. I finally have stopped and now I just nod my head. :)

You love to pull hair and scratch the leather furniture. 

You put everything in your mouth.

I mean everything. It's a challenge to keep you safe with two older kids. 

You love Micki and Henry. 

Your weight is just under the 50th% and your height is up towards 75th. 

You are such a light in our lives and we love you! I pray that you will grow to know the Lord well and that you will follow him all of your days.
