9 months old!





So far this month, we have been to the Virgin Islands and to West Virginia!  That means I haven't had very much time for blogging.  Seems like as soon as I finished the laundry from our first trip, we left again and I had another mound of laundry.  Unfortunately housework often trumps blogging for my time.  But finally, here are Eliana's 9 month pictures.  I actually took these on Oct 1st (except the bottom one, which was taken last week) since we left for the USVI on Oct 2nd at 4am.  Didn't think Eliana would be awake enough for the pics on the day we were leaving.  She was a little tearful when we started the photo shoot, but the rattle saved the day.  At her pediatrician's appointment last week, she weighed 19lbs 13ozs (60th percentile) and was 29in long (95th percentile).  She is definitely looking longer and leaner!  Everything was good at her check up; we are blessed to have such a happy and healthy girl!  And, this past Tuesday, Eliana started crawling!!  Full on, straight ahead, multiple step crawling!  She's not a baby anymore.  :)
