jaelyn turned nine months old last week!!!
she is just too precious for words!
we had her nine month well check yesterday!
jaelyn weighs 16 pounds exactly. (10-25%)
jaelyn is 27 inches long (50th%)
jaelyn continues to be such a joy!
she is such a happy and content baby.
she loves to smile and laugh.
she loves to be with her mommy and hesitates to be taken away from me.
jaelyn loves to have her sister and brothers near her, she loves to watch them.
she also plays very well by herself on the floor or in her pack n play.
here is what she is up to these days...
physical/movement...
~ sitting up perfectly
~ doing push ups on her hands and toes
~rolling over both ways and can get across the room doing it
~scooting backwards
~doing a commando crawl forwards
~ beginning to get into crawling position on her knees and rocking back and forth
~ beginning to figure out how to go from sitting upright to laying on the floor

jaelyn is such a wonderful baby!i could just eat her up, she is so sweet and such a content baby.
her little smile and sweet little self just melts my heart!
i love that she is so little and that she is doing things "later" than the other three did at this age, i want to keep her a baby forever.
i can not believe that she is 3 months away from being one year old.
i really want time to slow down!!
