The Best Nine Months

My sweet baby girl entered into my life nine months ago today, I never new the love I could have for a child till that day. I have to admit the first couple of weeks I was in a fog figuring out how to be a mommy. It was funny when we were in the hospital Jose says she is the quietest baby her and she was pretty quiet for the first two weeks, and then she cried every evenings for months. Daddy and I thought she would never stop crying, we figured out by changing her formula that she became a happy baby (we know what colic sounds like). The one thing about Cassandra is that even though she was colicky she still went to sleep every night around 9pm and for the most part slept threw the night. I wouldn't of planned a holiday season baby, but now that I have a holiday baby I love her birthday. Now I can tell her whenever she hears Christmas music her birthday is coming soon. I love Cassandra's sweet little personality. Everyday when I come home from work I try to walk up behind her quietly and wait for her to realize I am there, she always gives me the biggest smile. In the morning when I get ready I go, I go in to say good bye and she smiles at me. I always new the love I feel for my mom, but I never new the love I would feel for my own daughter. Cassandra is an active little girl, she crawls all over the house, pulls up on furniture or the walls, she is starting to let go of those things and stand on her own. Her daddy calls her a monkey, she is not scared of anything, I am so scared she will fall off my bed. Cassandra loves her big sister Layla she is so happy when she comes over, she always watches her and laughing at her. She is getting very verbal, she is always babbling at her toys. The distinct sound or words she says now are dadadad, bababab, lalalala, some times I could almost swear she says adah like my name, and I tell her no momma. I am so lucky to have a happy baby Cassandra keeps growing and changing everyday, I can wait to see what each day will bring. I am trying to enjoy every moment and not let the little milestones pass me by.
