We've got a cruiser, crawler, talker, eating, waving, patty-cake-ing little girl! She is still teeny tiny, but her personality is not! :) At her 9mo check up she weighed in at 16lb 5oz and was around 26 inches long. She can still wear some 6mo clothes, but is mostly in 9mo. Wearing size 3 diaper and size 2 or 3 shoe. Starting to get more hair on her head...which is great for BOWS of course! She got three teeth in 10 days at the end of Dec/beginning of Jan. She's been working on the fourth tooth since then too!
We battled the flu a couple weekends ago. By far the scariest time we've had with her. Fever spiked to over 104, seizures resulted from the fever... Tamiflu and Lebonheur Urgent Care were also involved. Thankfully she began to feel better within a few days... Only evidence that she even went through all that is a runny nose now... We most definitely praised the Lord for healing her little body!
As far as the rest of us... Bubba ran the St. Jude marathon in December. We weren't able to go cheer him on, because H was sick that weekend too! I promise she's not always sick.. :) Bubba has really been incredibly disciplined in running. I wish I had half his will power... He is going to try to run the Chicago Marathon this year! He is also staying really busy with church. Being the Media, Recreation, and Adult Discipleship Pastor means there are some 7 day work weeks... But we absolutely love our church family & are thankful for the opportunities the Lord has provided! I am still at home with our little girl & loving it. I'll be honest...it's alot tougher than I ever thought it would be! I wouldn't trade this time with her for the world though. In January, I also started watching my best friend's little boy! They live in our neighborhood & go to church with us, so it is really just the perfect situation! He is such a sweet & easy baby; we've enjoyed having him here with us! Harper adjusted well to him being here. I didn't know how she would handle it! Maybe it is good practice for her future siblings....
That's a little update from the Crowders. Sorry no pictures! I still haven't uploaded pics onto the computer from Dec - Jan... Maybe I can get that done today! Promise photos in the next update! :) I'll take any reason to show off my beautiful daughter! :)
