9 months!

I cannot believe Braelyn is 9 months old! (as of this past Saturday) She is crawling ALL over the place now and she has 6 teeth. She talks nonstop and is beginning to say things...we think. She said "ba-ba" the other day when I was making a bottle. She said "da-da" when Jay walked past her in the living room. She still hates bananas and loves squash. Unless she's teething (like right now) she sleeps through the night about 10 hours or more. She loves swinging in her new outside swing. Her new nickname from me is "pickle". I have no idea why, I just started calling her pickle.
She is still in our room at night, but in a mini-crib by our bed. If she wakes up in the middle of the night she gets in our bed and we snuggle back to sleep. (again....contingent on teething! Sometimes she wants a bottle or wants to play). She is HAPPY all the time and SMILES non stop. Jay said yesterday that she's got to have strong cheeks b/c she always has a smile on her face. I told him she is going to have wrinkles by the time she's two.
Here are some recent pictures of our sweet baby:


These monthly pictures with the teddy bear are getting more and more difficult to take. She doesn't want to sit still and ends up destroying the piece of paper before we can get a good picture. I was actually surprised I got one this good.

This is us on Mother's Day.

Playing with her puzzle on Saturday.

Saturday night we went to Steak and Ale with Jay's parents. Yum.


And here is the happy girl in her swing.
