9 months

You know I am thinking it - another month has passed?! This month has felt a little longer than most. Lilah has been teething for most of it, so her sweet demeanor is sometimes interrupted with some fussiness, especially around dinner time. Wes and I were both commenting on how this is our least favorite time of day. It is so hectic trying to get dinner on the table, keep both kids happy, and not have complete chaos. Generally, Wes walks into chaos when he gets home. I am not doing a good job modeling all those marriage books, having a freshly lipsticked smile and a glass of ice tea waiting for my husband. Oh well - he knew he wasn't getting that kind of wife when he married me.
Anyway, back to Lilah. She has been busy pulling herself up on anything and everything. She is crawling fast, but she gets upset when she works hard to crawl to where we are only for us to get up and go to a different room. Her knees are a little red from all the crawling.
Lilah has three teeth coming down on the top, which you can see a little bit in the second two pictures. Her other big accomplishment is signing "more," which she does eagerly for Cheerios.
Sleep remains one of Lilah's weaknesses. She gets up twice a night - around 1 am and 5 am. She takes two naps during the day - around 9 am and 1:30 pm.
Lilah loves the bathtub. She wriggles and kicks in excitement as soon as she knows it is bath time. I'm looking forward to pool weather - I am hoping she enjoys the pool equally well.
