Valentines Day = 9 months.

So Daddy is gone right now and it's soooo hard on me but I'm trying to stay strong for him because I think it's even harder on him. I can't imagine being far away from you for that long. Also, you are now officially crawling all over. Not only that but trying to pull up on things which is just scary as you crash and fall. Loud thwacking of head hitting the floor isn't Mommy's favorite sound, nor the heart-wrenching screams to follow. You quickly forget though as all kids are so resilient. You wake up through the night though to practice your skills, and crawling in bed is just exhausting to me. I want to just lay there and let you wear yourself out but you would end up on the floor and that's just no good. I know the solution is just to always put you back in the crib as we've been doing more of that but with Da gone it's lonely and oh-so tempting to keep you with me. Still I can admit that this makes you wake much more than necessary. Lately you aren't interested in solids either and tend to take in the majority of your calories throughout the night. lol, leaving me with maybe 5 hrs of broken sleep. I love you so you wild child! ;)
