9 Months!

Jayli has officially been alive out of my tummy, longer than she was in my tummy! Jayli is so smiley, so playful, so ADORABLE! She makes the funniest faces and can make everyone laugh. Jayli is very smart. She not only stands without holding on but has started taking steps a couple weeks ago! Her record is 6 steps. She has even started to stand up without grabbing onto anything, just in the middle of the room. The other day when Jake got home from work, he knelt down in the doorway and she smiled and crawled over to him as fast as she could. Then just to impress at the last second, she stood herself up and took three big steps right into his arms!! We all cheered and laughed. She is so big and smart.

Other new things about ms. J. She dances, (she does this funny head sway thing) likes to clap, splash in the tub, open cupboards, got her two front teeth, feed herself, uses her sippy, loves being outside, still HATES getting her diaper changed. She has discovered meat tastes pretty good, chicken, turkey, ground beef. Loves raspberries and strawberries... too much of a good thing makes for messier diapers.
