Say hi

Gretchen and I were playing quietly on the bed. She rolls on her back and looks at me, shakes her hand up and down and says "say hi."

So sweet

We taught her

How to use the "more" sign. She pretty much uses it for sweets, strawberries, blackberries and this morning...pears.

Gretchen at 9 months

her favorite toy is a toss up between her stuffed monkeys and her stuffed babies or water play or her brother.

her favorite food is anything.  she likes sweet things. she especially likes spreadable cheese.

she loves watching curious george on the tv.

she is trying to stand up from sitting and doing very well at it.

she gets very very dirty all day long, every day.

in case you're interested, here was Patrick at 9 months.

Do you see what I see?

She did this at Patrick's first soccer class. Yay!

She stood up all by herself. Lots of times. :)

Two more teeth!

But she won't show you.

He's on the earth

He's in outer space. - Patrick
