November 17 marked Collins' NINE month birthday. *Cue freak out...three more months and I will have a one year old!?!*
Colls Bolls, you continue to provide your daddy and me absolute JOY day after day. Your little smile and laughter is quite infectious, you do this little squeal/laugh thing that is absolutely adorable and brings the biggest smile to my face. We continue to LOVE putting you in your crib at night and spending a good 10 minutes playing peek-a-boo and simply enjoying your squeals of delight. That's not to say you are always laughing though...separation anxiety has set in and there are some times when no one else will do but mama or daddy (mostly mama:-) but we won't tell daddy!) Your little bottom lip will start to poke out and it is just so darn cute I can't help but scoop you up and shower you with kisses.
You still (what did I do to deserve this?) sleep amazingly. You go down around 8 and sleep until we wake you up during the week and will sleep anywhere from 8 to 9 on the weekends. Sometimes you will take 3 1 - 1.5 hour naps a day and sometimes two longer ones. You get your lovie during nap time and you LOVE it. You have become quite attached to having a lovie now...a thumb and a lovie and you are all set, little boo!
Our breastfeeding journey is coming to an end...you've been nursing twice a day and getting two bottles of formula a day for the past several months...just this past week I cut out one nursing and am now "weaning" with one nursing session a day. I feel so proud of how long we did this together. Hopefully I'll be able to do the same for your future sibling(s?).
You are still our little peanut, I really don't know where you get it as your mama was a CHUNKY baby and daddy was no tiny might either. You are still in 6 month clothes for the most part with some 6-9 months. You are still wearing a size ONE shoe that is too big. I do sometimes wonder if you are going to have the tiniest feet on the planet? Still NO teeth. Although, at your 9 month check up this past week, Dr. R assured us this was NO big deal and actually the later they come in the better. No more worries about getting you baby dentures;-)
You still crawl super fast and pull up on everything and anything you can. We got your a walker and you have slowly started actually trying to walk with it. AAHHH!!! TOO FAST, slow down, time! You babble a lot, but the only real sound you make is "ba, ba"...still waiting on a mama or dada.
You love to eat and rarely turn anything down, I hope this continues. You get three meals a day...consisting of fruits and veggies and have started eating "table food" and food from our plates that you love.
Thank you for being the light of our life.

xoxo. we love to the moon and back, baby girl.
