Melanie decided to climb into her toy box and play. Yes, she climbed in here herself.

Decided to read Baby 1-2-3, upside down.

Seems like Melanie has the same problem as mommy, closing her eyes for a picture.

A continuation of my abilities...it just takes too long to post a minute worth of activity...seriously!

A bit of practice with little Iris's donated "walker," thanks Iris! I do enjoy this very much!

This is what I look like when I wake up in the morning, or a nap...more cheerful than I used to be!

I got an e-mail today from the people that took Melanie's pictures when she was born. Wow, I can barely remember the time when she was this little! Probably doesn't help how sleep deprived we were! See how she liked to stick out her tongue back then too!

Just a couple pics of me, I believe ma and pa said, "You're growing real good!"

I am doing quite well at standing now! Especially with the help of our neighbors old "Leap Frog" Thanks Iris!

Dad thought it was funny to set up one his co-workers as baby sitter for me, while he was at the dentist!

And here she is...Liz, I was told, and she did a real good job too!

Until I remembered I don't like strangers!!!

But I recovered fine and am all the better for meeting new people!

See? I am such a big girl as I stand in my play pen! (Which I am secretly starting to enjoy!)

Melanie had her 9 month appointment this past week. She is now 15 lb. 11 oz and 26.5 inches. She is just a little peanut but is growing at her normal rate! We now have two teeth are saying "da da" and pulling up to stand and is using finger foods. Not much else new in the past month though!

I like to do this with a can of peaches. I really am a goof butt anymore.

Halloween 2009

My first Halloween. I had two costumes. Here is me in my pumpkin outfit I got from Aunt Katie.

It was definitely hard to crawl in this outfit!

And here I am in my fish costume that I got from my buddy Marissa because she grew out of it before she could even wear it!

I didn't get to go trick-or-treating because it was getting to close to my bed time but there is always next year!

Here is my inner voice speaking...while I control the standing part!

Melanie always crawls back to the stairs now. Surprised it took her this long to figure out they were there! And yes, we put this hat on her in the house because she looks so cute in it!
