Today you are nine months old:
1) Your time living in the outside world now equals the time you spent growing inside me
2) Clapping when you are happy, peek-a-boo played with the curtains, feeding yourself though very messy, walks and the great outdoors, cats & dogs, opening and closing things, water, licking everything and using your pinchers to pick up the tiniest objects off the floor, are some of your favorite things to do
3) You are becoming you and I am learning who you are
4) I don't know how you could possibly be cuter and more fun than you are today,
but I know it will only increase as you grow
5) When you laugh, the world is put to rights
6) When your heart breaks, mine will break twice
7) You amaze me every single moment I get to spend with you
8) You are my best friend and I am yours
9) Every day I will wish for a better world for you, and I will work to make it happen
Your loving mama, always
