NINO



Nine In, Nine Out. Mary was born at 39 weeks, 1 day. That's exactly how old she is today! Interestingly enough, this is also her 9 month birthday. Tomorrow she will be out longer than she was in. I miss the excitement of not knowing 'who', exactly, was coming, and the awe-inspiring feeling of life growing and moving inside me. But I am glad beyond measure that Miss Mary is here, safe and sound. She's even more amazing in person :)

Today we splashed around at the Carol Stream pool with the Humphrey's. Mary (and her big brothers) loved it. There wasn't much shade, and Mary is getting quite a tan. She's getting closer yet to truly crawling, rocking a bit on all fours. We're really going to be in for it when she takes off - we've caught her snacking on Legos more than once, already.

She is beautiful and lucky to have a devoted big brother, holding her lovingly and securely.

Happy nine months, Mary!

Love,
Grandma
