River is 9 months old!



Favorite Book: Munch, I am a Baby
Favorite Song: Patty Cake, anything her sisters sing to her! <3
Favorite Food: She loves all food. She especially loves yogurt melts (that's how I bribed her to learn "more"), cheese, ice cream, cookie dough, anything in a pouch, and all finger food.

First bite of ice cream!
Shocked by the cold!

Mobility: She started rolling over (both ways) around 7 months, and now is rolling all over the place. She has started to pull up a little, but can't get past her knees. She tries to scoot, but so far has only managed to go backwards. Haha.

She always has her feet together like this. It cracks me up.
Words: She still is not very vocal, but can sign "more" and "all done".
Likes: Sitting up, chewing on cords (she has a deceptively long reach, so she keeps finding them! Eek!), watching her sisters, hair (she plays with mine while I nurse, or when she's upset. She has started to play with her own hair while she's settle down in her crib.), being held, jumping in her excersaucer, white noise (Hooray for falling asleep faster and with less tears!), giving kisses.
Dislikes: Being left alone for longer than half a second, holding still, being held by someone other than Mom or Dad.

River is a content little girl who loves to be held, and watch the world around her. She has recently realized that she can participate in the world around her, and I think she will start moving soon. She adores her sisters, and they adore her. In the morning Lucy and Kaya crowd around me to fight for River's attention. They sing and dance and make her laugh. She loves it. She loves her daddy and always gives him a huge grin (and usually an excited dance) when he gets home.






Easter!



She thinks she's so funny. 





Happy to be our little tag-a-long

She is adorable. Is that her Papa giving her her first ice cream? It's a standard.

It's tradition for Logan's dad to give the grandkids their first bite of ice cream! :)
