9 months

Joshua turned nine months old on December 9th (I know I am a little behind). I have a hard time when my babies turn nine months old. I feel like they are getting so old-the have been on the "outside" for as long as they were "inside". I had big plans to take Joshua's picture on the couch like I always do, but with Christmas coming I got too busy and I forgot. Here is the only picture I got of him that day, and thank heavens Dave took it.

At nine months Joshua:
*loves to communicate by "talking" to you. If I say, "hhhmmmm" then he will respond by saying, "hhhmmmmm." Sometimes he even starts the conversation.
* every time he eats he runs his fingers through his hair (note the picture).
* still doesn't crawl. He started crawling on Dec 18. No progressive army crawling, or getting on all fours and rocking, just one day he didn't move and the next day he did.

Audrey at nine months old:

On the way to church with the big 'ol flower

It had record breaking rain going on at the time (something crazy like 32 days in a row or something horrific like that). We were leaving to go to Mexico soon and I was SO glad to be getting out of the rain. We had a little fashion show with Audrey's bathing suits one dreary rainy day.

This picture was taken in Mexico, and it is my all time favorite picture of Audrey and her D.
