In which I start a blog

As if I don't already have enough to do, I have decided to start a blog. Often times, I feel guilty for not updating people on Cara, and want to have an opportunity for others to see how she is growing. So, as the first blog post, here I go...

Cara's 9 month check up was today and she weighs a whopping 19 pounds 14 ounces. People, that is only 2 ounces from 20 pounds! Is this the same 12 pound baby I had only 3 months ago? I am amazed at how fast she is growing and becoming more "human" (as Cephas says it). She is very "nosey" and interested in everything. She is still getting over her second cold, this one held on a lot longer than the first, 24 hour cold she had. Her favorite this is when I spray saline in her nose and suck out all the mucous(NOT! She screams her lungs out!).

Now, for the best part about reading a blog.. a picture of that cute baby! This was taken a few days ago. I usually let Cara sit in her chair while I fix her meal, but she will only sit contently if I give her a few puffs to snack on.
