Happy Inside-Out Day, Bethany!

Bethany...

you are 9 months old today! 

("Inside Out Day": 9 months in, 9 months out!!)

That feels like such a milestone.

I cannot believe I was meeting you this day 9 months ago. It seems like forever ago, 

yet just like yesterday too.

You are such a beautiful baby, such a happy little spirit.

You make your Mama smile ALL the time.

I am so thankful for you, my little peanut.

I love how you breathe through your nostrils and scrunch your face when you get excited.

It's hilarious and makes everyone giggle!

I love how much you light up when your sister is around.
She is truly the light of your life.



I love that though you are a petite little flower,
you seem to have a fearless spirit about you.



again, I love your scrunchy face.
It makes your lips square off and is SO incredibly cute!!!
(see below!)



I love that you are already so into being mobile.
You love crawling everywhere, grabbing everything in sight, and getting into a little mischief.



I love that you are still snuggly and love to be rocked.
(your Mama is begging you not to ever change that, okay?)



I love your beautiful blue eyes.
They are so piercing and stunning, and people comment about them all the time.



I love your willingness to be pushed around a little by big sissy...
just because you can't stand not being around her.
You'd rather be smushed than be in different room than her. :)



I love how you love your bathtime.
You splash hard with your hands and it is so funny to watch you just come alive in the water!
And you love taking baths with Abigail..it just adds to all the excitement.



I love your soft sweet baby skin.
And that tiny hiney of yours is just the cutest thing ever.



I love how you already know how to love others so well.
I really believe God has given you a gift of love and compassion.
I cannot wait to see that blossom in the years to come.



and....
I love being your Mama.

Happy 9 months, baby girl!!!!
You are such a treasure in my life.
