Sonya Joy - 9 Month Update

At 9 months Sonya Joy learned to crawl! That is my excuse for not updating the blog. She is a handful, and I am always trying to keep her out of trouble! It is so much fun though!

What went on in June 2014?

- Benjamin Graduated!
Finally finished! Good for you Benjamin! Now on to the real world, so you can see how much easier school was than you thought! The age old story. 




























- Grandma and Grandpa Hodge came to see us! (Mostly they wanted to see me.)
I love this couple!



Sonya's still figuring out that Great Grandpa is Great!
- Summer came to visit! (Mostly she wanted to see me too...)

















- Sonya learned to crawl!
 She knew she could, but just didn't for months. Than it seemed like one day, she just decided it was time! It's so exciting to watch her learn!










 - Sonya said mama for the first time, but only when crying.
She makes all sorts of noise, but her only consistent word is Dada. She copies the dog by saying, "Uh-uh-uh!" It's pretty sweet!

- Size 

We took Sonya to her 9 month appointment, and she weighed in at 12lbs 14oz. Not a great leap from her last appointment. So, I was given pointers how to increase my milk supply and how to make sure she was eating healthy while still taking in as many calories as she could. Yes, I felt like a terrible mommy, but the scale doesn't lie. The doctor did say that since she was such an active little thing and had just learned to crawl, that she could be burning colories faster than we we were getting them in her. We were scheduled for another checkup in a month. We went home and started shoveling food into our little pixie!





"God help us to figure this parenting thing out! My parents made it look so easy! And they had 11!
Help us to provide for her and protect her. But above all else, help us to show her how much You love her, and teach her to be sensitive to your call. Make us what we can not make ourselves."
