my life in pixels and pronouns: January 2011

At nine months old, little Kit is the happiest, smartest and funniest baby. Of course I can say that because I'm her mother. This month has been by far the funnest with all the new things she is doing. She is becoming much more inquisitive - translation...she's into everything. Her little personality is becoming much more apparent. I think she's still very laid back and overall really happy. She loves to smile and giggle. She is rarely cranky, just when she's tired. She amazes me. I'm sure Ryan gets tired of me saying, "I just love her so much." Picture Ed from Raising Arizona. Yes, something like that.
