On May 31st, while galavanting around New York City with Erin and Ryan, Cordy officially turned 9 months old. I had every intention of doing a photo shoot of her there, but in all the chaos of the big city it didn't happen so we did it the morning after we got home.
Can you tell she was still exhausted from the trip?
The bow didn't last long. Neither did her sad face. Cordy is such a sucker for attention and brightened up right away!
Cordelia is one of the friendliest babies I know. While we were in NYC she made friends with people everywhere as she flashed her happy smile and glowing eyes, squealing with delight. Who can resist that face?
She's finally working on some teeth and spends lots of time with her fingers in her mouth on the days when the pressure is on. You can tell that some days they both her more than others, but in general she is still a very easy going little lady.
I brought her in for her 9 month well-baby check up to find that my little lady really is on the small side. Height: 26 3/4 inches (12%) Weight: 17 lbs. 12 oz. (19%) Head circ: 17 inches (18%) Funny because I would never look at her and think she was a small baby. She's got plenty of sweet squishiness to love on and she's very alert and attentive. Who cares if she lost and ounce since her ear infection last May! Silly doctors. I think she's a healthy happy baby. No worries here.
It's so fun to watch you grow! You are a delight to everyone in our family. We all love to watch you try out new foods, flip and roll around the house, and laugh at our silly faces. You're such a social little lady and often you will start laughing and cooing just to add to the conversation. You love it when we all stop what we are doing to watch you and in return you always give us such a happy show of affection.
You are such a courageous little lady. I was amazed at how smiley and friendly you were with everyone we came in contact with while we were in NYC. From homeless people, security guards, policemen, business people, grandparents, and college students you made friends everywhere! I was in awe at your universal kindness, and thought I could take a lesson or two from you on how to treat everyone I come in contact with in my day to day life. You may be young, but you are already teaching me so much.
We all love you to bits and can't imagine life without you. Your brother and sister can't get enough of you! I'm so glad you came to our family and I get to be your mommy. I love you more than a million trips to exciting places and a billion beautiful firefly filled summer nights.
Love always,
Your Mommy
