Nine Months

Today Katy is nine months old.  At nine months, Katy is constantly looking to pull herself into a standing position, she loves for me to help her walk by holding her tiny hands, and she sometimes insists on feeding herself.  I can see the toddler inside her trying to emerge.

One evening this week, Katy was having a hard time falling asleep for the night.  I finally picked her up  and laid her on my chest to rock her.  Eventually, her wiggles gave way to my firm hold and she began making little sounds I hadn't heard in months, little sighs of defeat as she drifted to sleep.  It reminded me of the sleepy noises tiny, newborn Katy made and that Katy is still my little baby.
