Baby Belle will be nine months old in exactly one week. And even though she looks and acts just like her daddy, she’s as precious and sweet as can be.

She’s noisy and ornery, though. I put her in her swing yesterday evening because she was so tired, and she spent the whole time in it sitting straight up with a goofy grin on her face.

You should hear her yell! She says “da da” and and all kinds of things, loudly, because she has to be heard over her big brother and sister. I swear she said “hi” to me the other day, and when I asked her if she said hi, she said “yeah”.

She took her first “big girl” bath the other day. I thought it was time since she also began sitting straight up in her infant bath seat.

She also had her hair trimmed that same day. Since her mohawk had grown out in the back and sides, and her original baby hair is still on the top, she had this pointy hair that always poked her in the eyes (though she never complained, sweet girl).
