Happy Nine Months!

Erin is 9 months today...she has now been outside of the womb for as long as she was inside.

She is getting better and faster at crawling everyday. The first few days it took some persuasion to get her to move. Either by food or when we were walking away and she would follow behind while crying for you.

Today was the first day that I put her down and she started wondering around to explore on her own. The first place she went was to the space heater to stick her fingers in it (it wasn't running).

I realize now that we will need to vacuum so much more often, because she goes after the smallest crumb/dirt/leaf/string she can find. And of course it's bite size.

And now only 3 months left until she's a year!
