Cara 9 months: Utah Lifestyle Photographer

Dear Cara,

You are a people person. If anyone walks into your field of vision, you have to smile at them until they make eye contact and smile back in return. You’re happiest when you have someone to watch, whether its your brother & sister, or a stranger in the grocery store, you watch their every movement. You hate being left alone, and cry when everyone leaves the room without you. Most likely within the next week you’ll figure out how to turn your “inching” into actual “crawling” and follow them out of the room so you’re not alone anymore.

You love to eat. More specifically, you love to feed yourself. Pureed foods & spoons don’t really cut it anymore and you seem less satisfied after meals where you are not involved. You do, however, still make a mess. Good thing you love baths too.

You will be content for 20-30 minutes if we pluck you down in front of a bucket of toys. This fascinates me. You pick up each toy, turn it around in your little fist, stick it in your mouth, drop it, and reach for the next toy.

You’re development is a little slow compared to others your age, but I don’t mind. I figure you’ll get there on your own, and I can wait for you to be more mobile. We haven’t even had to lower your crib yet because you don’t know how to pull yourself up yet.

I love that you’re little, that you have messy hair (you just eat your headbands), and that you have the brightest, bluest eyes I’ve ever seen.

love,

Mommy
