Rebekah is now crawling all over the place very quickly.  She puts herself to a standing position but then gets stuck and can't get down.  This is super bad when she stands up in bed and then cries for someone to come help her lay back down.  Let's just say I make many, many trips up and down the stairs! She continues to be a Mama's girl.  She wants me to hold her ALL THE TIME!  She is super light and easy to carry around but it sure makes it difficult to get things accomplished.  I find myself sneaking around the house if  she is playing happily so she doesn't see me.  If she sees me then she immediately crawls over and hangs on my legs until I pick her up.

She is super cute and fun though.  I love how she scrunches up her nose when she smiles and her giggles make all the hard moments worth it.  We are so blessed to have her in our family.

Our peanut is 9 months old!  She still doesn't make the charts for her height or weight, but she hit 14 pounds even!  Still wearing 3-6 month clothes and size 1 diapers!  She has become very mobile...officially mastering the real crawl while we were on vacation visiting Grandma and Grandpa.  She is fast and finds every small thing on the floor.  Rebekah has become quite the Momma's girl.  She wants to be connected to me in some way ALL THE TIME!  She is content and happy as long as she doesn't see me.  I have to be sly as I move around the house so she will keep playing and not cry for me to pick her up.  We are still working on  getting her to sleep through the night for more than 3 hours...one day that will happen! :)  Her smile and giggle make everyone happy.  So grateful for her influence in our home and family.

Shortly after Rebekah turned 7 months old she began to sit up on her own.  I didn't even know she could do it.  Spring decided to try to sit her up and begin teaching her to sit up.  Well, Rebekah surprised us all and could already do it!  She i has become more and more interested in playing with toys and reaching for things.  She is slowly trying solids but she is not much of a fan...unless Sam gives her a powdered donut...she thinks that is pretty great!
