So Sorry...

That we haven't updated in a while.  As most of you know, my job revolves around a certain baseball team whose season just started a couple of weeks ago, so we haven't felt up to blogging.  Plus, we have been crazy busy with work and company.  But the Rangers are on the road (and just took down Roy Halladay and the Blue Jays tonight!), so I will try to catch up on blogging this week.  

Here is a quick update on how big our little girl has gotten...

She is 9 and 1/2 months!  At her 9 month check up she was 50th percentile in height and weight.  She goes to bed at 7 pm and wakes up at 7 am.  Mommy and Daddy love that last sentence...

She is crawling now.  Uncle Ryan (who posted some Elliot pics on his blog) was here this weekend and he described her technique as "ninja style" because she stays low so she can sneak up on people.  She hasn't mastered the crawling on all fours yet, but she is a fast little army crawler...

She is also pulling up and one of Mommy's diamond earrings almost made an interesting gastrointestinal journey.  She left them on the coffee table thinking they were safe, only to turn around and see Elliot pulled up on the coffee table with said earring in hand.  We also had to lower the crib so she wouldn't fall out.  (See why we can't blog!  We are too busy putting the house on lock down...)

She is compiling a bag of tricks...  Waving bye-bye, blowing kisses, and trying to copy our voice inflections.  She also makes a "cute face" and it gets laughs, so of course it continues.  I will try to capture some of these things so you can see them.

Until then, here are some pictures from today...  Can't get more up-to-date than that!

Bath Time!
