Lily 9 Months

Lily has done so much in her short 9 months. She has now been in the world for as long as she was in my "tummy." She did a lot in there too, you know changing from a zygote into a baby that was ready to come out and see the world. Amazing. No less amazing is all she has accomplished since she joined us out here. She has learned to smile, giggle, make lots of different sounds, recognize faces, voices and names. She has learned to roll over, bear walk, pull herself up, cruise around the furniture, stand up by herself and she even took her very first fawn like steps toward becoming a walker! All this from the little, tiny baby that didn't do much besides cry, kick her feet and swing her arms without much control. Baby humans are so fascinating. Other babies are also fascinating, even plants fascinate me. Like the Narcissus(paper whites) Ryan and my mom planted about 2 weeks ago as bulbs that are now over 9 inches tall! Sometimes I just sit and marvel at God's creations.
