Mommy's Lil Lambie

Soo... we don't really "celebrate" Halloween. However, it is fun to get dressed up...well dress Justice-kymorah up anyway. So Mamaw made her this lamb costume. It's too cute really. A little on the warm side (in the pics it looks like I put make up on her ..like blush.. but really she's just hot). We went to Great Gram's nursing home... they had some festivities there.. all the old folks loved her! Mommy is eating the snacks she got tho :P

baby's first lollipop

I couldn't resist giving her this! Yes, me who didn't want to give her sweets ever. I don't care, it's fun to see her try new stuff and make funny bitter-beer looking faces. Then that excited look when she likes it... uhh priceless.

PICS!

why would I get her pics done "professionally"..she's perfect at home

Getting Big

Everyday is something new with Justice-kymorah. She's so smart I feel like she's bored with me during the day. She needs some new fun toys... so let me just go out to the money tree and start that process. Uggh. I started registering at wal-mart for her for Christmas and then her birthday in February. I dont know of anyone getting her anything but just in case I guess. I don't know, enough about that, its depressing.

Anywho, she's a NOGGIN freak. Moose A. Moose and Zee are her best friends. Seriously they come on the tv and she's in the zone. It used to just be Baby Einstein was all she would watch but now we've added a few more shows... it's so funny to watch her watching her shows. NOGGIN is the smart channel and I swear she watches some of these shows and follows along. And if I get in front of her she does all she can to looka round me or move me out of the way.

She's in this new kick of feeding herself. I was feeding her witha baby spoon a few weeks back (she was on my lap). I put the dish on the table with the spoon in it cuz I had an itch or something and she just reaches to the dish on the table, pulls out the spoon, and puts the spoon directly to her mouth. Of course, I was shocked. This was weeeeekkkkksss ago. So I refused to let her do it on her own (they grow too fast!). So then just yesterday she snatches a fork (a GROWN UP fork) from my hand as I was trying to feed her, and does it herself! She's so smart, it's scary. She's not even 9 mos old yet and she's feeding herself.

Still no teeth and still now crawling or walking. She still does her funny little version of crawling and she also now crawls backwards (too funny!).I figured she'd be walking by now... if you could see her in her jumperoo and other walk around activity chair thing... you'd think the same. But whatever, I'm excited to see her do new things but believe me I can wait. Mommy's baby isn't a baby anymore :(

She does talk a little. She doesn't make the connection between words and what object they go with yet but its fun to hear her babble. You know, "da-da", "ba-ba", "ga-ga", etc. Even a few "ma-ma" sounds every once in awhile. Her little voice is so cute. She also is part Mariah Carey.. she does this screaming thing but its a nice high-pitched musical type scream.

She eats like a mad-woman (just like mommy). She'd eat all day long if I let her. She eats whatever mommy eats most of the time. And snacks that come in stick form. And a few days ago we started the cheerios. She still nurses a few times a day but its getting harder and harder to get her to focus long enough..thinks she gonna miss something. Then again, there are times she will pull at my shirt and swipe at my chest... which is hilarious... then she whines until I nurse her. So who knows. She gave up the cereal bottle at night thing a while ago... she hates drinking out of bottles..only her sippy cups. Which we switch to Avent from the Nuk kind we were using because the tops to the Nuk one's are terrible..like the nipple part... and I dont have the patience to deal with it. It was good for transitioning when she was 5mos old but now they just don't suit us. So Avent it is.. took her awhile to get used to it... but she's good with them now.

She fights sleep better and better. Sucks for mommy. She also gets up earlier now (also sucks for mommy). She used to get up at between 1030 and 1130 in the morning... now its like 830. She's starting to run on normal baby schedule...not cool. It's hard for me to get out of bed in the morning because of my health issues... no matter what time it is... but if I'm not fully rested, it's worse. So I guess we'll be going to bed earlier now... which will be a rough transition for me because I'm a night person... takes a long time for me to fall asleep if I go before 1am.

Well, that's it for now. My sister is out of ICU now and in rehab after her brain surgery. She'll be there for around 2 weeks I guess. But praise God that surgery went well and she gave her life to Jesus... nothing could ruin my day when I heard that! God is good..ALL the time. Ok I could go on forever about that so I'm just gonna stop now. I'll post some new pics now and hopefully post another update in a few days.
