Whitley,
Not much longer til your 1st birthday! Man has time flown. It doesn't even seem possible that you are almost a year old.
Well, baby girl since the last time I wrote you started walking! I thought once you started walking you would still be easy to keep track of since the whole time you were crawling you never went any further than the entry way in the house. Oh how I was WRONG! You are everywhere! One minute you will be right beside me the next thing I know you are in your room playing or the laundry room. You are a sneaky little walker! You have also figured out how to open the dog's kennels. They love you for that! Once they are out you will sit in their pens and play in their water bowls. You like to do this mostly right as we are trying to leave in the morning.
This weekend is the last weekend that it is suppose to be nice out, so I am going to try to get some pictures of you in your birthday outfit so that I can get your birthday invitations made. I really need to be getting that done and soon! Hopefully your will have fun at your birthday party and not be too shy. You remind me so much of me when I was little when you are being shy. I was always really shy when I was little.
I love you baby cakes!
Love you precious baby girl,
Mommy

10 Months
Whitley,
WOW! It has been 10 months already and has been such a blessing! I love you so very much and have no idea what I would do without you.
What you have been up to lately:
Teeth: 4 total, bottom middle 2 and side top 2. You have a big gap on top and it is pretty darn cute!
Weight: Around 15 1/2 lbs.
Height: Haven't measured you since last month.
Mode of transportation: You are still crawling quite a bit but you are walking just as much!
I am so proud of you my little Mighty Mouse! You can do anything you put your mind to and I have no doubt in my mind that this will ever change. You love the dogs so much and are trying to play with them more. Diesel is getting better about letting you pet him and I think before too long you two are going to be best friends. You laugh and laugh at the boys. Your laughter is music to your mommy's ears! I love to hear you laugh and talk. Sometimes I even think you sing to me.
I love you baby cakes! You are the most beautiful, wonderful, precious blessing in the world!
Love you sweet baby girl,

9 Months
Whitley,
Can't believe it is time to write another update! Okay so I know that it is close to time to write another, but I don't want to miss this one. You have been growing like a weed and continue to be the light of our lives.
You are still in the same diapers and clothes as last time but you have gained some weight and length!
Weight: 14 pounds 10 ounces
Length: 26"
You are eating 3 meals of solid food a day and it is usually big people food. You are a pretty messy eater if mommy doesn't help you and then that means that you are pretty mad at mommy when it comes to having to get you cleaned up!
You can say mama and dada and I am convinced you can say dog. You point at a dog and make a noise so I have been taking that as dog. You are still crawling like crazy but you are cruising more and more. You have also been standing some by yourself.
You love to crawl in, on and through anything you can! Your favorites are your toy basket, end and coffee tables and the ball pit at daycare.
We love you and are so very very proud of you! I know that love will only grow as you do and you will continue to make everyday so much better.
Love you my beautiful baby girl,
Mommy

8 Months
Whitley,
My oh my how time is flying by! You are now 8 months old and I simply cannot believe it! I just got your 6 month pictures back (Yes, I know, I am good at getting your pictures taken just not ordered in a timely manner!) and they are sooooo good. I have your 9 month picture appointment already made too!
You are such a little monkey! You crawl and climb all over everything! Surprisingly you manage to do all of this with minimal bruises so far. You are starting to walk from toy to toy and stuff like that. You are so much fun to watch crawling and playing. I love it!
Ok so here is the run down on what you are doing these days:
Eating 3 meals of solid food.
Using your sippy cup some.
Nursing 6 times a day but for shorter periods of time.
Still in 3-6 month clothing and a few of your bigger 0-3 month.
Still wearing size 2 diapers.
You weighed 14 lbs the last time I weighed you.
You can go anywhere you want and are really fast at getting there!
Love to play with your activity table and your cups.
You have started saying mama again.
You are starting to "cruise" (walking holding on to furniture or toys).
Well my little sweet beautiful baby girl you are growing up on me and this really just hit me last night as I was nursing you before I put you down to bed. Recently you have been nursing for short lengths of time but last night you were super tired and so you took your time and I made me realize that you are growing up on me faster than I would like. It was nice to have one of our nice long nursing sessions last night. I just held you and watched you and thanked God for you. I never knew how blessed I was until you were given to me.
Love you sweet baby girl,

June Update
Sorry that I haven't updated this in a while. There has been so many things that have happened, only where to begin....
Well, at Whitley's 6 month doctor's appointment she weighed 13 lbs 3 oz and 24 inches long. She had another ultrasound to monitor her kidney and we found out that it is the ureter coming into the kidney that is dilated but not causing any damage. The doctor wants to check it again at her 1 year appointment. If he thinks she needs it further checked out, he is going to send us to a pediatric urologist in St. Louis.
The week after the doctor's appointment she got her first tooth! Then she got her second tooth the next week. It is the 2 on the bottom and is still working them all the way up. The Saturday before Father's Day she learned to sit herself up! Of course I missed it the first time she did it. I was vacuuming the living room and turned around and she was sitting up, but I didn't miss her next milestone. On Father's Day we all went to my parent's house to work cattle and to see my dad. Whit was playing with the rocking cow my mom has for the grand kids and she kept wanting to play with the face while standing on it so Kenzie sat her in front of it to play with it and she grabbed a hold of it and just stood up! Everyone but I think my mom got to see that milestone. So of course you want to see if it is just a fluke so we sat her down in front of it and she did it again!
She still hasn't started fully crawling. She will get up on her hands and knees, move her knees forward and then plops on her belly, reaches and then pushes herself forward with her feet. Yesterday she was really trying and would move her knees then 1 hand and then move her knees again then plop. She will get it and then we will be in trouble because she is very active and once she learns something that is all she wants to do.
I think that is all I have to update you on for now. By the way her 6 month pictures came out SOOOOOOOO good!

6 Months
Whitley,
I can't believe that you are already 1/2 a year old. Time is going way faster than I would like for it too. You are getting to be such a big girl and becoming more independent. As you grow your personality grows as well. You are still such a happy little girl (when your teeth aren't bothering you). I know I have said this before, but when you smile your whole face lights up. Here are just a few of the everyday things you are up to:
Sitting up: CHECK You can sit in the floor and play with toys all day
Crawling: Almost! You are really good at going backwards, turning around and rocking on your hands and knees, but still need to work on the forward motion. You are working on that, you just started lunging forward.
Diaper Size: You are still in Pamper Swaddlers Sensitive Size 2
Clothing: 3-6 for the most part. You still can wear some of your 0-3 month clothes.
Weight: I took you to the Dr. about a week and a half ago and you were weighing 13.2 lbs (with your clothes on)!
Height: You have your 6 month Dr. appointment next week and that is when they will measure you.
Feedings: You are still primarily nursing but you have started eating a little bit of rice cereal in the evenings.
I am so proud of you! You make all of my bad days better. I love you so very much and you are getting more beautiful everyday. You change so much from day to day. I still have no idea what color your eyes are going to be. Sometimes they are blue with brown in the middle and then other days they look more all brown. I guess only time will tell with that.
I have been contemplating putting you in your bed in your room at nights. Until I make up my mind you are still sleeping in the pack -n- play in our bedroom. That is a big decision for me to make. I'm pretty sure daddy is wanting me to start you in your room soon because you have been waking up earlier than normal (about 5:30 am) and he isn't a morning person so doesn't like it very well.
I love you baby girl! You are perfect and beautiful in every way.
Love you sweet girl,
Mommy
