Mara, 9 months old

Mara is now 9 months old and very active and wiggly. Today, she started waving back up when you wave at her, at least it happened 4 times in a row. She also seems to be saying something consistent when she wants something that she doesn't have or wants to keep something that we are attempting to remove from her. It sounds like "hold that". The doctor says since she pulls up and stands she is ready to walk, except for a lack of confidence. This is Mara at the studio where we stopped for a few minutes.

Today, I give thanks for the day I was given, the wee bit of moisture we got, sweet baby smiles and laughs and peanut butter and jelly toast, which when one is hungry can be the most delicious food in the world.
