Always changing

Life seems to be always changing. We get used to one phase, then we're on to the next. Norah is crawling all over the place, and has been pulling herself up on whatever she can grab ahold of. She is on the move...all the time! :) She is a busy, busy girl. She is exercising her independence in little things, like meal time! She wants to do it herself...she's not very interested in food off the spoon. She wants to pick it up herself! Lately she has needed me to entertain her more often than is convenient for me (meaning some days I don't get much done around the house)! But, I have to remind myself that this is just one phase, and soon we'll be on to the next. I sometimes find myself wishing for the next phase, when I really need to just be content and thankful for the phase we're at...because all too soon she will be a big girl. Norah is 9 months old (almost), and we are so thankful for all that we have experienced in these past 9 months.

Norah recently started saying 'da-da'. I'm not sure that she is associating that with Lance yet, but that will come soon I'm sure. She babbles a lot! It's so fun to hear her in her crib after a nap, just talking to herself!
