9 Months Old and a Happy Father's Day!

We had our 9 Month Check-up yesterday!  The doctor said she seems to be doing great as always and ready for just about anything.  Usually by 9 months you can recognize if a child will have food allergies and no sign so far so we "HOPE" and "THINK" we are in the clear!  Since I updated last about her a lot of things have changed.  She has went from army crawling the last month to up on her knees and really doing it!  She is pulling up on everything in site and into anything in reach.  Which makes for quite busy days!  As always the busier I keep her the better our days go!  She doesn't sit still long, nor like too!  We have dropped down to three bottles a day and food three times a day but could see dropping another bottle soon!  She is just more interested in the real stuff, which I can't blame her!   Brinkley is starting to get full control of her hands and really using her pinchers to pick up EVERYTHING in site!  Bumps and bruises are here to stay haha!  She falls all the time and has started getting used to bumping into things.  I think it helped yesterday with the shots because she didn't even cry!  It was like her saying "Bring in on doc, I have a high pain tolerance!!"  Her expressions kill me and I love to watch with every new thing we do or try!  Her nostrils flare and she shows exactly what she's thinking on her face!

Father's Day was wonderful!  I felt like it was Christmas because I was so excited to give Ike his presents from Brinkley!  We did a small scavenger hunt before church, where he found all his goodies!  The last one being his TaylorMade Driver that he's been wanting since it came out!  He was thrilled and throughout the day showed it off to everyone!  Brinkley did a real good job...lol!  We spent time around the Crofoot's house that afternoon with the family and then went to pasta night at their clubhouse that evening!  It couldn't have been a more perfect day!

Ike is such a wonderful father and husband!  He shocks me day in and out at how much he loves her!  It's precious!  It makes it really easy to think about more little ones in the future!  We are such a team and really enjoying parenting together!
