7, 8 and 9 months

Oh, I'm such a bad mom for not doing a better job of keeping up with my blog. We've had so much going on in our lives lately and the last thing I've felt like doing is spending time in the basement alone.

For those of you that haven't already heard...the "big" news is that we're expecting another baby in December. Kyleigh is going to have a sister! The due date is December 23 and I just hope that I'm not in the hospital on Christmas Day. Needless to say, I'm exhausted almost every night and can't wait to go to bed after dinner.

As for Kyleigh...the one you REALLY care about. She's grown so much, we can't believe she's going to be 9 months old this week. I know I last updated when she was 6 months, but forgive me if I don't know exactly when she did what. But...here's the latest and greatest. Kyleigh has 2 teeth on the bottom now. She's eating well with her fingers (the pincher grasp). So far, she likes baby puffs, graham crackers, and bananas rolled in oatmeal. She's not been a fan of cantelope, watermelon or nectarine. I need to get on board with trying more things for her.

Just in the last fews days she's really been on the move. It's making mom and dad realize how "un-child friendly" their home is. It's a difficult time for us because our house is constantly being shown to prospective buyers and we hate to change it too much for fear of scaring away non-baby weilding prospects. Last weekend she was fine with her small play area and now she's crawling to the tables and sofa so she can get the way she prefers to be - vertical! She's able to move all the way around the coffee table, though she does fall some and that's never pretty. Next weekend I'm picking up a play pen so that she can move around safely. Kyleigh doesn't appear to love crawling, but she's definitely proven she's capable of doing it.

Enjoy the photos from the last fews months. They include a visit to Aunt Alison's in Pittsburgh (Rachel, 3 and Ava, 1) and a visit to great-grandparents Apop and Hilda. Hopefully, it won't be another 3 months until I post again. Until then...love to all!
