Waiting for Spring..

Our little angel is 8 1/2 months old now, and her 1 year birthday is creeping up rather fast! Scarier is how fast she's growing up, and learning so much! Just last week, she stood up for the first time, all by herself, holding onto nothing! She just crawled up to me, raised into a squat position, and raised herself up like a ballerina in a deep plie' in #2 position. She stood up for a few seconds, then reached for me and just fell into my arms. I was so proud of her, but, it was a reminder how soon it will be before she's walking. She's quite the climber too! If Joe or I are sitting on the floor next to the couch, she'll climb up us and sit on the couch herself! LOL She cracks us up. Just this morning, she climbed out of her ultrasaucer while I was out of the room for a minute. When I came back in, she was standing on the Outside of the toy, smiling up at me like "mommy see what I can do now?" Her middle name should be Houdini, but, well, Grace has a nicer ring to it if you ask me. Here's a picture of the ultrasaucer below -
Trinity is quite the linguist, gabbering all day long. She holds conversations with Joe and I that are more like "bah bah bpssssh mmmmm" but I love every bit of it. She also tries to talk to our cat like this, but well, she doesn't speak baby.
Trinity still dances, only she dances to nearly every bit of music she hears now. If we're singing, she's dancing, if I have a cd on, she's bopping.. very funny is how riveted she is to the Gilmore Girls theme song! I don't know why, but everytime that show comes on, no matter what she's doing, she stops and is glued to the tv, making impressed happy noises and, of course, dancing. So adorable!
Joe and I haven't spotted any teeth coming in yet, thank goodness. I think all that calcium and milk did good, for her teeth that do come in should be good and strong! Thank goodness for good genes!
Well her 9 month well check is in a couple weeks and we'll post on her current weight and height when we get that. I'll also add some new pictures, enjoy!
