This smiley girl turned 9 months old last week. Where is the time going?
She’s decided sitting is overrated and chooses to roll around everywhere. Which she is quite good at! She rolls all around the room and can get wherever she wants to for the most part. I’m convinced she will probably crawl before sitting. But it just makes this stage of baby-hood last longer, which I am happy for. The doctors are not concerned she isn’t sitting yet, that because of surgery she will be delayed physically and that is ok.
Pictures with her name, as they were last month, are getting harder and harder! But I had a trick up my sleeve this time. :)
Her scar is healing quite nicely. I guess it’s normal (so I found out) for the bottom of the scar to thicken and stick out a little bit (a keloid scar). Looking back at Bailey’s head scar, hers is similar in that the middle of the scar is a thin, thin line and the sides are scarred wider. I am rubbing vitamin E on it and I’m able to massage it now that it doesn’t bother her. It does itch her still.
Someone told me that when their baby’s scar started to fade that they were actually sad. And I totally get that now. 
I think it is beautiful.
I have to tell you that I am doing much better from THIS post. Thank you for your kind comments!!! I think that I was actually starting to become addicted to social media in an effort to reach out to those going through similar circumstances. And during that time the sad stories were of course really affecting me. I’ve taken a step back and tried to put things back into perspective and have, as a result, found so much joy in living life as it is now. There is much to be thankful for and there is a wonderful life to be lived. So I’m going to do just that :).
Thanks for stopping by!!
What a great idea to make a photo each month at the same setting!!! My boy is 3 month old now and I will start
immediately to make such photos – thanx for the cute idea!
Kiki

Ruby is so cute! I wish her health and happiness for the future!!!!
Karina
Oh thank you so much Karina! That is so kind of you!
look how beautiful she is, and just how much she’s grown since the surgery! thank you for sharing her with us :)
Thank you so much! She has grown a ton since her surgery!
So sweet, she is really blooming into her own little person it looks like :) I remember when my little guy was this age, hes 10 yrs old now.
What a blessing I know she is to you and your family.
Yes, she’s so funny–and fun. It is going too fast! Thank you for your kind comment!
She is such a cutie, and my almost 2 year old son thinks so too! We were looking at this post together yesterday, and he was so excited to see all her pictures! He was talking and waving at her, and as I scrolled, he waved goodbye! :) I love what her arms are doing in all the month pictures side by side! I’m glad she’s doing so well, and I’m glad you are feeling better emotionally! I think social media is great, but sometimes it’s easy to get sucked in to all the rough stuff happening to others too. Thanks for keeping us posted!
That is the cutest!!! Aren’t kids the best!? Thank you for your kind comments you are so good at posting!
I just love her little fist in the air. It’s like she’s saying, “YES! I did it!” :) I think this time she’s grown even more than last month. WOW! She is just so adorable. Makes me miss when my little booger was this small.
Ha, totally! Thank you so much !
She’s glowing! Look at those baby toes!
Baby toes are wonderful, aren’t they? Thanks Justine!
She just gets cuter and cuter!
Thanks Delia! She’s so much fun :)
Such a cute little smile!
Thank you Kellee!
