First there was this...
...and then we blinked, and there was this...
...and now it's officially official: this girl is BARELY a baby anymore!
Juliette spent the days between 8-9 months hitting new milestones here, there, and everywhere. She's a girl on the move [log rolling, scooting, rocking on hands and knees, and crawling backwards -- still not forwards!] and so proud of herself and all of her new skills. She mastered the thumb/finger pinch within the last couple of weeks and picks up little pieces of food now to feed herself. She loves dialing up all of her grammies on FaceTime and also thoroughly enjoys sitting in a pile of toys on the floor. Grocery shopping is also a hit these days since she's able to sit up in the top portion of the cart. "Da-da" is her jabber jam, but you better believe I'm over here waiting with bated breath for her to learn Ma-ma [hopefully coming super soon]! She finalllllly cute her first tooth, and I believe the second tooth is on the way! She loves all "big people" foods that we put on her highchair tray [which we've been trying more and more of lately, especially since she's in a horrible habit of blowing her purees all over the place!], and we were shocked to see her shoveling little chunks of salmon into her mouth as fast as her still-kind-of-uncoordinated fingers could get them in! She is thrilled that Harper and Scarlett are home ALL DAY, EVERY DAY on summer break and absolutely loves being a part of the sister pack. Most of all, she lovessss playing the "big girl game" where she puts her arms up in the air and someone says, "How big is Juliette??! ...Sooooooo big!" But, she FOR REAL is soooo big... I can't believe how this 9-month mark has changed her in so many ways!
The tiniest human with the HUGEST personality... We love you, big girl/girl on the move!!!
Be right back while I scamper off to baby proof the house! :-*
