Little Miss Vanessa

Vanessa is nine months old... can you believe it?! I sure can't! She is growing up way too fast. She had her well check-up this morning... 17 pounds, 3 ounces and 27 1/4 inches tall. She is positively perfect in every way.

Vanessa's favorite things to do are eat any shoe she can find around the house, pull dolls and stuffed animals out of the doll crib, crawl around after Savvy, play under the computer desk (even climb onto the printer), eat whatever Savvy is eating (or anyone for that matter), clap her hands, suck her thumb while holding her "special blanket," say ma ma ma, drink out of Savvy's sippy cup, and just be happy. Vanessa is getting more and more brave when it comes to standing and walking. Today alone, she has stood up and let go to play with something, just balancing on her feet so many times. She walks along anything that she can pull herself up to.
She has never really learned to love baby food (which saves me a lot of time from having to make it!) but she loves to have a bite of whatever we're eating and especially loves macaroni and cheese.
We still can't get enough of this goofball. She is just so fun to be around. Hopefully she'll slow down a little bit so that I can have my baby for a little longer...

Oh she is so cute! That's so funny though, Madilyn loves to eat shoes too. It kind of grosses me out though. I mean, where have those shoes been?

I love the picture of her in her high chair eating Macaroni and Cheese. She is just too cute.

Why be worried about your baby getting bigger? Just keep 'em coming, that's our philosophy (or at least what we tell ourselves). Vanessa is a sweetheart, she's always so happy.

What a cutie. What is with the shoes? Jacks favorites were always Austin's Croc sandals. Nasty.
