Last week we put George's crib mattress down all of the way. We loaded up his bottom shelf with board books. We brought the rocker from our bedroom into his. And while I sat there rocking and reading to him, he fell asleep in my arms. And suddenly it all came back to me. Suddenly everything felt like it did when we first had Magnolia. Suddenly I was in familiar territory. Magnolia was 9 and half months when we met her in China. George is 9 and a half months now.
George - 9.5 mos.
Mags -9.5 mos., China

Oh my -- those photos of your cuties at 9-1/2 months are gorgeous! They both have such beautiful expressive eyes, don't they! Time is flying by and filled with so much fun, isn't it! Hope you have a great day! Your new blog header is beautiful!

OH MY GOSH...these are the most precious pictures of your two babes!!

I am still in a bit of shock that George is already 9.5 months....it seems like yesterday you were just telling us you were pregnant with him. The time sure does fly......look at Mags and how much she is changed too!!

Enjoy and cherish every day with them!

That is such an interesting thought... that all those months prior were so new and now you are walking the ground you've already paved. Both children are absolutely stunning at nine and a half months. Frankly it is my favorite age. Their little personalities really start to come forward but they are still an infant.
