My Reese and My Riley, you’re 9 months old now you see.

I know I keep saying this, but time’s really flying by for me!

Reese: you are crawling, well, backwards (that kinda counts- mom said!)

You also sit up… until you suddenly flail and bump your head.

You’re almost 18 pounds and grab everything in sight.

You are never still, so… changing your diaper is quite a fright.

You enjoy getting attention and with those bright eyes and smile- people’s hearts you do win-

To everyone we see, you flash those two teeth, giggle, and then grin!

Our heart melts when you cuddle with us, reach for our face, and “talk.”

You love to eat (that’s my girl), play, be outside, and go on walks.

Riley: you love tummy time, and with a little help, you will sit.

You love to giggle at your sister, pull Cali’s ears, and LOVE to spit.

You weigh almost as much as your sis does now and are just as talkative too!

Your sweet voice makes us smile as well as when you play “peek-a-boo!”

You have no teeth yet, but are drooling up a storm…

have a feeling that very soon we’ll see your very first tooth form.

You enjoy mirrors, feeling textures and bouncing, and girl, you go to town!

You sleep very well after playing so hard: all you need is your pappy and you “cluck” when set down.

Our girls, you are our joy, and a gift from above.

We thank our gracious Father for His abundant love!

Happy 9 month birthday, Riley Grace and Reese Abigail!  We love you a lot a lot.

Love,

Mommy and Daddy
