Happy 9 month birthday!

Our lil' Mya is 9 months old today, and she's already surpassed a lot of developmental milestones. She's scooting around on the floor, standing up while holding onto chairs, ottomans, and hampers, and starting to communicate. When she stands up, she towers over her cousins who are months, even years older than her. I wonder how tall she will be when she goes to school. She'll probably be one of those girls who were taller than anyone else in their class, including the boys. Her first words were uttered at 4-5 months, and they were "dadadada" and "babababa". But now, she's starting to show facial expressions, voice inflections, and intonation in her communication. 2 more months and her little sister will have her real birth day. 3 more months and Mya will have her 1st birthday!
