Parenthood
Nine Months Old Today!
Blogged by James Preece 8 months ago...
Nine months old. See-saw day. Leona has been out of the womb for as long as she was in it. She's developed amazingly since she was born. When I look back at the photos from her first week I barely recognise her. We did a bit of a recap at three and six months and now she is nine months old.
It's been a very exciting three months really, when it started we were just making our first tentative steps in to sitting in a high chair and being fed very very liquid goo. Now Leona is quite comfortable sitting in a high chair picking up segments of satsuma all by herself (pre-checked for pips of course) and eating them. She is crawling around rooms, getting hold of things she shouldn't and generally being a lot of fun. We are still loving the whole parenting thing and it's still no where near as bad as the hype suggested.

She is sitting up on her own...

Getting expressive...

Something else Leona has been getting in to is books. Obviously she can't read yet but she has a few books with lots of pictures and (really impressively) she has learned to turn the pages.

Here's a nice photo of Leona and her mum...

And here's a photo of Leona and some old rocks we saw in a field...

She really has been growing...

In each of those photos, Leona is three months older than in the previous one. See how she grows! I don't suppose that babygrow will still fit her when she hit's the big one.
