Finally! The best sound...

Eliza has been a chatterbox lately. She says "Who's that?" constantly while pointing at various things (pictures, objects, etc.), Eziza, Ah-boo (we haven't figured this out yet, but she says it constantly), and "Hot". All food is "hot", no matter the temperature.

She routinely says "Hi, Dad!" to Brian, but she has not yet mastered my name. Until tonight...

I left a room and she momentarily got upset, I was in the kitchen and I heard her yell "MAMA!!!" from the living room.

Nine months!

If it's the 28th, it must be Raggedy Ann time!

This month, Eliza learned how to crawl with her belly up, pulled up to standing, started eating more adult food, babbles constantly, including "dada" and "mama," took her first vacation (more on that later) and went swimming for the first time.

It's hard to believe I have a 9-month-old baby. She shouldn't be this old. For that matter, I shouldn't be this old.

She's the best thing to ever happen to us, though.
