At 9 months Cosette you:
Have TWO teeth!!!!!! They are your bottom front ones. You got your first tooth two days before you turned 9 months. You have perfect posture. You can sit for hours. Especially when it's at the high chair. We finally put you both in the high chairs and you are doing great. You like food. All food- ANY food. As long as it comes and comes fast in your mouth no extreme fussiness will happen. If you like how fast we are feeding you- your feet will bounce up and down. You also do that when you are happy. You like to sit and play with your toys, but if your sister has something more interesting you have no shame or patience- you take it from her. If a toy is just out of your grasp- you can get to your tummy and work your way over to it. Most of the time you end up going backwards. You can say da-da and are starting to say mamamamammmm. Just yesterday you started to blow raspberries. You roll all over the place when I change your diaper. I love your smile.

Elizabeth at 9 months you:
Can sit up by yourself, but preferred to be held all the time. You've been sick this month with an ear infection and a virus, and pink eye. You like bananas OK now. But they have to be mixed in with something. Just plain ones are still NOT your favorite. I think your favorite food is carrots. You are calm and quiet. Just snuggle with you and everything is all right. We call you our cuddle bug. Try to put you down and you let us know what you would prefer. You say da da and mamamam and just Sunday you waved bye-bye to Granny and Grandpa on Skype. You are patient when Cosette takes your toys, as you like to swipe a few from her too. When you smile it lights up the room.

My babies- you are such a delight. It has been the hardest year of my life but those baby smiles make it all worth it!

*We are starting E on acid reflux medicine in hopes that it may help her keep some food down and GROW!! Please pray that she would grow.
