Pre-Christmas Fun

Just hanging out under the tree playing with my block

Getting some presents out...

This was right before Christmas and she was just starting to try to pull up

Checking out the TV components...the glass doors are too hard to resist!

This baby girl loves her piano and Mom likes to play with it too!  Bert catches me still playing with it when she's off to another toy, justa having a good ole time!

Who's there?.......

BreBre!  She thought this was pretty fun!

I think I was trying to send an email or something work related and was trying to get her to play in my office.

Wasn't long before she had decided she wanted to look through some fabrics...may have another designer on our hands...(no pressure, I'm fine with whatever she wants to do!)

Back under/in the tree

Taste Test in progress

Apparently it's pretty good!

Testing out Reid's present.... 

luckily they were foam Cars bath toys

Playing with Daddy

Not exactly sure but looks like she was wanting to sample the tree next.

8 Months Old!

In all my excitement to get caught up on the blog, I had forgotten that I was so behind I hadn't posted her 8 month pics!  Shame on me!  Here they are...

This picture looks like deer in headlights but couldn't leave it out because it's the only one where she's still and looking straight at the camera!

No time to let Mom take a couple pictures, too much to do...

Crazy girl!

She's spotted Buddy

You can see some of those curls!

 

She is a good crawler!  Didn't take her any time at all to go to full speed (well we may not of seen full speed yet but she's really fast!)

Loves this coffee table

Try not to notice the dust...dusting...well it's not on the top of the priority list and unfortunately is so far down that it's rarely done and even then I forget about the bottom of the coffee table.  So Bre is my duster!

Love those pretty blue eyes!

Reminds me so much of my brother when she sticks her tongue out like this!

She is all into the presents and the tree, not sure what she's going to think when we take the tree down.

 

Here she is re-dressing the netting, how thoughtful

Coming after the camera

Again with the tongue!  So sweet!

Precious, Precious, Precious!

This girl loves some puffs and so does Buddy!  She has started sharing some with Buddy.  Occasionally, I catch her letting Buddy lick it and then she eats it but normally she lets him eat it too.

He'll even lick her fingers when there's no puff and that's pretty fun for her too!

She will let you know when she's running low on the puffs, definitely not shy about that!

9 Months Old!

Hard to believe this sweet baby girl is already 9 months!  As you can see, she's not only crawling but pulling up.  The coffee table is one of her favorite play toys lately.  It's fun to crawl under, around and pull up on... who would have known!  She's been getting a little more adventurous and trying to crawl/climb through the bottom but she's not made it all the way through yet, keeps getting stuck in the middle but she is determined, so I'm sure she'll keep trying!

Yep, those are 3 bottom teeth you're looking at...I was paying so much attention to her top gums and out comes another bottom tooth!

Taking these montly pictures keeps getting more challenging.  She's not as willing to stay still anymore!

Trying to make her getaway...

We went to see Dr. Whitney today for her 9 month check-up and here's her stats:

weighed in at 20lbs 10oz - 77%

measured 29.25"L - 92%

17.25" Head Cir. - 40%

She said that all looked great!  Everything else checked out well too, ears, breathing, etc.

 

Love how she's laughing in this one!

 

Just think this outfit is so cute!  She ended up wearing it again for New Years Eve, which we spent at home.  Bert made the comment that we were slightly underdressed in our sweats with Bre in her fancy getup.  We had a nice evening and watched a movie after Bre went to bed.  Excited about all 2013 has in store for us!

Just can't get enough of this sweet face!  Little button nose...as Gram & PaPa say.

 She really is a good baby!  We may be spoiled when the second child comes around (shouldn't be for a while!) because I don't know if we could get this lucky twice!  We are definitely beyond blessed to have this sweet angel in our lives!  I've been giving her extra hugs lately and just trying to remember everything about how she is at this sweet age because I know she's growing up so fast!
