9 Months!

All smiles at nine months . . . one big tooth and a little one too.

Milla is nine months old today and is keeping us on our toes. She's taking to climbing up the stairs (cruising right into her sister's room), has sprouted two teeth, has mastered the pincer grasp, can stand unassisted for a few seconds, likes to practice walking around with any willing hands, and is quickly becoming the best snuggler in our house.

We took her swimming for the first time last week and she enjoyed the water quite a bit, splashing and crawling around. The zero entry pool at our YMCA is great for the little ones!

Her stats seem to indicate that she's stretching out a bit, 95th percentile in height (29 inches) and 75th percentile in weight (20 lbs. 4 oz.). To us, she's just perfect.

Attempting to get at her ch-ch-ch-Cheerios!

Happy 2010!

Anja helps with Christmas letters (a tad late, we know!), all the while wearing her party headband from the night before.

We had a great low-key-no-driving-necessary-home-by-8:30pm New Year's Eve get-together at our neighbor's house. It was perfect, and the best way to end a wonderfully chaotic 2009!

Happy New Year!

2010 is already off to a fun start . . . here's to more memorable happenings which will hopefully make their way(s) into blog posts.
