Dear Little Ones,

Happy 9 month birthday! I had to write this a little bit early, because I will be out of town when this gets posted.

I just can’t get over the fact that it’s been 9 months already and that you are so much closer to being one years old. I’ve grown and changed a lot since you guys have arrived on this earth and I wouldn’t change it for the world! You’ve made my life that much better!

Tenley, there have been so many exciting things that have happened to you this past month. You’ve gone from rolling all over the place to full on crawling and standing yourself up! Time to baby proof the house!  You also have FINALLY started growing some bottom teeth!

Tatum, you’ve become more talkative and you are learning to sit up very well on your own. This past month, you’ve been more sick than usual. Bad colds and trips to the ER, but nonetheless you are such a trooper and have overcome these sickness! Such a big boy!

We just celebrated your first Christmas (more pictures on that later) and we had a great time! You were both blessed by gifts from many family members and friends. You guys truly had a great time open the gifts and then consuming the paper! LOL

I pray that you two remain this happy always! You two light up a room with your smiles and laughter! I certainly am going to struggle being away from you for 9 days!

I love you both more than you could ever know! Thanks to the Lord above for blessing us with such wonderful beings!

Love you forever and always,

Mommy
