First Word

(She can sit up on her knees!)

Haven't had time to write recently (because when I get home I get scolded by Todd for playing on the computer), but I wanted to post a few new pics and to say that my little sweetheart has "officially" said her first word.

It's been a few weeks now (2 or 3?), but she very clearly, distinctly says "Ma-Ma" when she sees me. I am soooooooo proud and excited. I've been telling her "ma-ma...ma-ma....ma-ma" for months now, and it finally paid off. When I get home from work, the second she sees me, she starts crying and saying "Ma-Ma!... Ma-Ma!!"...    I LOVE IT!!!

Scarlett turns 9 months old today, and she's doing so great. She sits up and plays quietly by herself for up to 15 minutes at a time! (terrific break for ma-ma, who otherwise is holding her constantly)  She is crawling and sitting up on her knees. (see above pic).  She is so happy, and I'm happy for her.

I was finally able to get a pic of my girls together. I love them so much and I am so thankful that I have them in my life. :)
