Rose turned nine months last week.
I really can't believe it.
It honestly feels like she was just born
but now she's been alive outside of me for longer than she was alive inside of me
and it is has gone by way too fast.
She is really interested in moving lately. She hasn't quite figured out how to crawl but she can scoot and wiggle to just about where ever she wants to go. I'm realizing that I don't vacuum nearly enough because she ends up gagging on the grossest things. She is also the pickiest eater. The only baby food she will eat is bananas, pears and applesauce. When you give her anything else she gags on it, throws it up, or spits it out. I'm pretty certain I'm going to have to nurse this girl for a long time just to make sure she gets some sort of nutrition! I hope that this picky eater thing is just a phase and that it isn't a sign of things to come. Oh, and her hair is turning REALLY red. I need to get a good picture of it because is some light it looks redder than at other times. It makes me really happy. What could be cuter than a little red headed girl named Rose... so perfect.
All in all, she is such a joy in our lives. I can't imagine life without her. I've been amazed at how my heart has stretched bigger than I ever dreamed it would to make room for her. I think that is one of the gifts of loving people is that they fill voids in your life you never even knew you had.
I was talking to one of my friends the other day and I was commenting on how Rose's little personality has really started to shine through lately. I said, " She is incredibly sweet and easy going but she very determined and opinionated. When she wants something done... she does it and when she has an opinion about something... she lets you know it."
My friend smiled at me and said, "So she's kind of like her mom then."
I couldn't help but laugh... I guess she is.
