Baby G was 9 months last week and she is better than ever! Her personality is shining through, and it is fun, and silly, and easy going. She had her checkup and was 18.5 lbs and 27.25" tall, so still on the petite size of average. She is confidently pulling up to stand, taking baby steps while holding hands, and pushing up to sit from the floor. Army crawling like a champ! She just started to have a bit of separation anxiety about two weeks ago. I handed her to church nursery worker ( same who takes her every week) and she cried. My assistant picked her up and she cried. I handed her to uncle and she cried. Social worker took her and she cried. Thankfully it is a lip, a tear, and then she if fine, but selfishly I love it! This morning when I picked her up from church nursery she saw me from across the room and clapped and squeaked, then army crawled with haste across the room, grabbed my hands to stand and baby stepped into my arms. Joy, pure love for me, and I for her!!
Today marks second visit with bio mom. Only a very short visit, but the aim is currently every other week. And yesterday it was a 12 visit with aunt and uncle. I am so thankful they ease the transition rather than cold turkey for both our sakes! I felt more complete once she was returned to sleep in her crib.
