3 months shy of a birfday

dylan june is 9 months old today. yesterday, she started eating those silly puffs-o-flavor. i don't really know what they're made of that make them dissolve so quickly, but they're actually quite tasty. watching her long fingers grab for the bits was pretty comical; a tad shaky, the coordination will just take practice.


she follows me room to room on her hands and knees, picking up her arms like a doggy wearing snow booties. she can pull herself up to her knees, and if she's sitting on my lap, she can pull herself up to stand. and just like her big brother, her top four teeth are days from poking through. her gums are so white and swollen and her chew toys just make her burst into tears.

she is still extremely cute. do i even need to say this anymore? she's started to clap when you pick her up, and at my mother's request, we are working on SO BIG. (although, i still don't get why this is something they need to learn...) she babbles incessantly, blows raspberries, gets a full-body wiggle when she sees her dada and is continuing to bite me at every feeding. her bellybutton looks like it's gonna be an outie too. man, that outie gene of mine is fierce! she's a great sleeper and full of smiles. i couldn't have dreamed up a better little girl.

time for a comparison, yes?

a sweet smile
a little scream
a little snarl

ok, so only the outfit's the same...
even the wave in their hair is similar
and, both love their toes
