9 Months

Lola bear is nine months. She hasn't had her check-up yet, so the update on her weight and length will have to wait until next week. She's growing up so fast! It's so much fun. I think her top teeth are beginning to bother her. That means they will be cutting through pretty soon! She is such a happy baby. I think I've almost got her to start clapping! she grasps her hands together and shakes them up and down; but I think that's her way of clapping. And, she is quickly learning what "no" means. While she is crawling and creeping around, she is of course, into everything! She is so close to walking, too. She stood by herself two times already. Once was on our bed, which was quite a wobbly attempt. The next she stood in front of the couch. She let go of my hands and stood there! I swear it seemed like a long time, but I'm sure it was a short 3-5 seconds. The next step is to take a step! I'm both excited and scared! We're going to have to start chasing her around pretty soon. Fun!

This is her mischevious look.

It's almost been a month since her passing. March. It's still surreal. I still can't believe that one of my best friends is gone.

I loved her so much and I am going to miss her immensely. Her laugh, her smile, her sense of humor, her advice and her love...

The memories are all we have left. I feel like I haven't mourned enough. But, when is it enough?
I hope that we are reunited in the end.

Guad, you were a great friend, I will always love you and the times we shared.
