Mirabel - 9 months

Crawling, cruising and cute as ever, you always put a smile on my face. You keep me busy as ever these days. More messes to clean up and more boo-boos to kiss as you become more and more independent. You absolutely adore your big sister and you both love to crack each other up. Your fourth tooth finally came through and you and Eloise had your first visit to the dentist this past week. Check ups for teeth and health went very well all around! You are 19 lbs 7 oz, over a pound heavier than Eloise weighed at this age. I just love your chubby, happy face! Eloise loves to "chubba your cheeks". She asks to do it multiple times a day and for the most part you let her. She puts your cheeks in her hands and squeezes them together. She thinks it's hilarious. You're never too amused by it but you're a good sport to let her do it. You are waving "hi" and "bye" and you love sharing hugs and kisses. You are starting to respond with your first animal sound, "what's the elephant say?" - you answer back by blowing a raspberry. You are so loud! Whether you are laughing, playing or imitating Eloise, you give it all you've got. We just love having you around, Miss Mirabel. Kisses!

And one more for the books. Two cutie patooties waiting for their bath.
