and so it was 9

"Holy Mokes," as Max would say, I forgot how limited my computer use is when SDR is in school.
Our sweet Stori stinky stink is 9 months old now and I haven't even had a chance to document it. Good thing SDR graduates in December (try not to think of all the years at Law school after that).

So 9 month old Astoria Rose is so dang fun. I'm gonna give a quick little update for me self and then some pictures for the Grandmothers and other admirers.

9 things about our Stinkaroni and cheese:

1. As of today she waves to people if you say, "say hi to Haily." It's adorable because she is so proud!
2. She loves her new high chair and has tried lots of new foods. Our next experiment is yogurt.
3. She is entertained with my mug straw, dan's old watch, old lotion bottle, her pop-up book Moo, the remote to the T.V. (not dvd remote), and she also loves her minion and rubber duck.
4. After getting bored with her toys she takes off to explore the whole apartment. Which takes a total of 4 minutes. Sad. But she is belly crawling like a champ and if you tell her to come get you she will crawl to you. 
5. Only the trained eye can tell the difference between deer scat and Stori stinkers.
6. She goes to bed at 8pm and wakes at 7:30am (lately she wakes with the sun so we put a "curtain" over the window).
7. She nurses 4 times/day and eats real people food twice/day.
8. I love rocking her while she winds down for bed. She just lays on me and it's the best thing in the world!
9. She loves standing!!! Especially in her crib! Friday morning we walked in to get her and she was standing! How she did it, we may never know. She likes to walk back and forth while I play peek-a-boo with her, and she also loves this game....the one in the pictures. 

The rest of the pictures are just so random but they are too cute to not include! I hated leaving Dan and Stori to go to work when they both looked so cute sleeping. Stori fell asleep right after I fed her so she just took my spot. It's funny to see some of the older pictures mixed in with the ones from yesterday because her cheeks were chubbier before she started crawling. She is losing weight haha.

We found Summer in April! 86 degree temps this last weekend!! I won't complain! Stori tried grass for the first time! (and lotion) Look at those cute lil' crossed legs!

Happy 9 months little sweety! Oh and Happy 1st tooth!!! Not so happy for mother. You are so dang fun to be with and we sure love ya lots!
