RAYMIE 9 Months

Don't judge my Raymie (9 months).  
You all really only look at my blog to admire my adorable little girl (who everyone says looks like me...so does that make me adorable!?) Hahaha. 
I decided that my little girl has my immune system (BAD) instead of her dads (GOOD). A couple of weeks ago, after spring break (IN HAWAII), she got an ear infection. Sad day. She's a champ though. She is overall a pretty tough little girl. But she still keeps tuggin on her dang ears; so much that she has left scabs in them (and me thinking one of those yellowish scabs was ear wax and I scratched it off...blood. Haha horrible mother). 

Sick...Fever...Ear Infection 

Raymie is a CRAWLING MACHINE! She never stops. Haha. She has been pulling herself up onto things for about 2 weeks and can stand alone for about 10sec. But yesterday she stood up all by herself just by pushing off of the ground. She is doing great. 
She also loves to do this thing that Jared and I call "TAKING A KNEE". She just gets up on one knee all the time. Sometimes she claps while she does it...but we really don't know where she got it or why she does it. Haha. 

She LOVES to suck on socks...I know she's a weirdo. haha. I even put a pair of my old socks that I don't like in her toy box just for her to play with. She also loves to SCRATCH things. Kinda weird. Like when I breast feed her, I have a dark freckle thing on my chest, and while she eats she stares at it and scratches it trying to get it off. She also scratches at one of Jared's freckles on his arm. WEIRDO. She also likes to FOLLOW people around the house. Like a dog. haha. My daughter is so awesome. She is really good about noticing the LITTLE things too. If she notices any discoloration in the floor she'll go right to it...and than stick whatever it is right in her mouth. She also loves plastic bags and paper (which I don't let her play with either of them...chocking hazard). She also loves WIPES. After we feed her we give her one to suck on (Hopefully she wont end up on that one show...weird addictions or something and end up eating baby wipes for the rest of her life). 

She likes strings and cords too (don't worry I don't let her play with cords). Can you tell I have my hands full!? She loves to suck on the sweatshirt strings while people are holding her. Now you understand that I have to be watching her CONSTANTLY. Haha. I love her so much though. She has such a fun personality. My favorite is right before bedtime. She tends to get super giggly about then. She rubs her eyes and I know she's ready to go to bed...but not before we have a little bit of GIGGLE time.
