Ashley Marie is 9 months!

Its so hard to believe this sweet baby is 9 months old. She weighs in at 22 lbs and 28 1/2 inches long. She is the first baby to be below 90% for height and over 90% for weight! It's safe to say her nickname "Chunk" fits her.
She has changed so much over the past 9 months....

She is trying so hard to walk. She can stand unassisted for short periods of time. She can out run her big sister on all fours. She can find the smallest piece of dust or food on the floor and cram it into a corner of her mouth nearly impossible to find. She belly laughs at Buster licking her hands clean. She smiles at everyone and she eats everything.

Her favorite person is anyone who talks to her and her favorite food is anything she can feed herself. She loves to empty the cabinets in the kitchen and loves to climb the stairs. Taking walks is always a fun thing to do but crawling in the grass and eating mulch are even better.
Ashley is so easy going. She sits for long periods of time for Caleb's Lacrosse games and soccer games and patiently plays during Faith's dance classes. She just goes with the flow and smiles cheerfully where ever we drag her to.

I'm still in awe that I'm the mother of three. After all the years of fertility issues, all the miscarriages, all the tears and heart ache, we are a family of five. And this sweet baby girl is truly the perfect completion.

Happy nine months, sweet sweet Ashley Marie. We all love you more than you'll ever realize!
