On the move...

Friday, June 21, 2013

Mallie has been sitting up on her own for two months now. She's also been rolling over for about that long. From sitting, she's been working her way on to her tummy, but has been getting stuck on top of her right leg. It's almost like she's sitting "indian style" with one leg. Mallie gets to the point where it's almost like she's frustrated because she's stuck...

Well, stuck no more! Mallie has gotten over that leg, on to her tummy, and is moving forward! It helps a lot when she has something in front of her that she wants...ie: my water bottle:)

First word

April 28, 2013

Mallie had been making these whispering sounds for a while now...sort of like a "wha" sound. Towards the end of March, right after Easter, she was getting the "m" syllable down. I think Eric secretly works with her when I'm not home because I always got videos like this...

She moved on from a whisper, to going "mmmmmm-muh". It was so cute to watch her little tongue try to figure out how to move and talk. You could tell she was really trying hard to put everything together.

I had a DMC board meeting on the morning of April 28th. I rushed home because Mandie was driving down to hang out and meet Mallie for the first time. When I got home, Eric showed me this...

This is one of my favorite videos so far in Mallie's life. You hear her cute little voice, her cute little giggle, and she's saying "Mama"!!! Love the way she says it over and over...I could watch this for days!

8/3/13-9 months

Weighing in at 15lbs, and measuring 26 3/4 inches, Mallie is on the small side...but she's perfectly healthy:) I can't believe how big my baby girl is getting!

Noteworthy: Mallie was on the verge of cutting one of her top teeth while these photos were being taken. I think she was on the verge of tears in every single photo...

...this photo looks so posed, but really this was right before a humongous temper tantrum.

This is one of my fav photos...it's as if she's saying "gosh mom, what do you want?" with her sassy little attitude;)

Enough with the photos already, eh?
