Bethany Dorothy Freeman is 9 months old!

Height: under 25%

Weight: 35%

Head:85%

Nicknames- Bethy, Dot, Turtle, Sweetheart,  Little Fox, Darling, Beth-a-roo

Words- "mama" "dada" and a "babababhow" sing song when you ask her what does the fox say like the youtube video. waves, claps and bobs her head up and down nodding like.

crawls, walks with furniture, and eats everything and anything.

does not sleep through the night- not even close.

does take at least one if not two sweet naps cuddling with her blankie

likes to follow the kids around, all kinds of toys, being tickled, taking baths- but didn't use to

does not like sitting in her car seat or sadly falling down the stairs- which has happened twice :(

she has record long eyelashes, her stork bites are slowly fading, two little teeth poking up from the bottom of her mouth which is the soonest any of our kids have sported teeth, and a little eczema under her nose that refuses to go away.

Bethany has been such a wonderful addition to our crew.  Her temperament is so perfect.  She is not only happy but seems to like to be silly and laugh and giggle and smile.  She is not so cuddly, but that is okay because she pays for it in the smiles and sweetness she gives.  It is clear she loves all of us.  And all of us love her so dearly.  She does nap, and I often find myself missing her before he nap is even over.  I wish I could spend all day clapping and tickling and making her giggle.  Which is pretty easy to do.  She will bust up laughing if you make a silly face, play peek a boo, or basically do anything!

Although she weighs in kind of small- it is clear that she has some rolls and we love her little chubbiness.

I catch myself constantly thinking she is baby Sam, or maybe Kate.

I am so in love with out little fox.

Happy nine months Beth-a-roo
