Nine months

It is difficult to impossible to get pictures of a nine month old baby who has figured out how to move and wants to do so. Add in a thunderstorm and the related bad lighting...

She is also hell bent on getting the camera cord.

Now... take the above conditions, and add in a request from Mom to get a picture of all three kids. It's comedy. Pure comedy.

I did get one that wasn't too terribly grainy.

But, my baby is nine months old. She has now been on the outside as long as she was on the inside. She still disdains most solid food, but has developed a liking for cheerios. She's progressed to an inchworm kind of crawl, and is still the apple of her brothers' eyes. She's everything we could ever have wanted in a little girl, had we known what to ask for. I can only imagine what this next 9 months will bring. Perhaps a full night's sleep? Even if no, I wouldn't trade her for the world.
