NINE MONTHS!

Belle mimicks a lot of what we do, sounds and facial expressions. It's a total crack up. She is really into talking (well babbling). She says "ba ba ba wa wa" all day long. We hear her say "mama," and "dada," but she really has no idea who she should say it to. She also started to wave bye bye, but she does it about 2 minutes after the person has left, so we imagine nobody believes us when we say she can do it. We have officially decided that our Halloween costume was a good fit because our child eats like a cow (but doesn't nearly gain as much weight as cow!) We're pretty sure we could feed her all day long and she wouldn't have a problem with it. She still has no teeth which is a bit of a problem given she wants to eat so much. Michelle has been getting pretty creative at making all sorts of mushed up food and Belle seems to like anything we put in front of her. However, over time we are running out of ideas of soft food to feed her and have been resorting to baby jar food. And yes, she still gets a ton of milk.
Here are just some random 9 month old photos...
