Mollie as a nine month old

We are having so much fun with our little nine month old.  Her personality continues to develop and she changes almost every day.  We finished our second session of swim lessons last week, and started The Little Gym.  She is in the class above her with the big kids, so I was worried the class would be too advanced for her.  When the class began, everyone was sitting in a big circle.  There were about 25 adults and all of their babies were sitting in their laps.  Mollie crawled off my lap and right into the middle of the circle, then sat down in the middle for everyone to admire...  right away I knew she was going to be just fine in the class!  In addition to loving attention, she has switched from the army crawl to crawling with her tummy off the floor; we are hearing "mama" much more, which is extremely rewarding; she has started to lay her head on the floor when she needs a quick "rest", although it only lasts for maximum 2 seconds; she is eating burgers, brisket, spinach, waffles, and lots and lots of cheese (she has cheesehead in her blood!); she still lights up when she sees Daddy or Charlie, splashes like crazy in the bath, and loves to smile at people we meet on the street.  The standing and walking continue to get more stable and the laughing continues to light up our household.  Here are some bare bottom photos of her doing some of the things I just mentioned, and one of her looking just mischievous!...
