9 months

Wow! So much has been going on that I haven't had time to blog lately. I celebrated my 30th birthday a few weeks ago. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about it. It was awesome though! Lee bought me a really nifty blue mountain bike. We ordered a kangaroo seat for Autumn. I can't wait to take her for a ride on it. I'll have to post some pics of that later. My mother-in-law came into town this past weekend for a visit with Autumn. I think Autumn enjoyed visiting with her, although she doesn't know her very well. Today, we went for her 9 month checkup. Autumn weighs 15 lbs and is 26 inches long. They checked her iron levels and poor baby got a flu shot. The nurse had to get a blood sample from her tiny, little finger because she couldn't enough from her toe. Autumn was such a trooper. She smiled and waved bye-bye to the nurse every time she came in and out of the room. She was so good, mommy bought her a baby doll when we went ot Wal-Mart. She has been dragging it around behind her all evening.

Things Autumn is doing at 9mths: waving bye- bye with both hands, saying dada & mama, cruising around furniture, eating some table foods ( she loves ice cream & mashed potatoes) and of course growling at anyone that will growl back! She is such a sweet girl. We love her so much.
