she went in for her well baby check today and weighed
18 pounds and was
27.5 inches (but i think it was a little tall...) s
he is doing great and has such a personality. she throws a few fits already but for the most part is a super happy and excited baby. she loves to clap and squeal when she's happy. she has TWO little teeth! her bottom-middles. they are cute but i'm still not used to her teethy smile. and on friday- she took her first steps! 2 steps (and on saturday she did 3) and she's done it lots of times now- not without some coaching/coercing :) it's really freaking adorable. her feet are still SUPER small and its been hard to find 0-3 or 3-6 month shoes that are made for kids that are walking (soft-soled but with tread) but we got her some cute pink/brown maryjanes from gap this week and she stands pretty steady with them on. she's now standing for up to 15 seconds on her own. she's doing great eating breakfast, lunch and dinner in her highchair and just has bottles before her nap and bedtime. she loves splashing in the bath and nic. she really loves nic. last night she caught her first cold (from me... i feel so bad!) i also gave it to nic. now we're all sick and grumpy plus it snowed and is monday so basically today is not that awesome. but daphne is finally napping now with her drippy nose. we're so excited for her birthday! for several reasons...
• Blake is coming home!!! Nic's biggest little brother is coming home from his 2-year LDS mission in new hampshire. we've really missed him and we're excited that he starts school the NEXT day in rexburg! we'll be almost neighbors! [jan 4th]
• she'll be walking and wearing all of her cute 12 month clothes that i've been saving!!
• we're going to CO for 10 days at Christmas time! i haven't been home in FIVE years for Christmas and i'm dying to go.
• i'm graduating with my bachelors december 18th!
yay... so much to look forward to! (i have to think about these good things because i'm so sad summer is officially over and the cold has set in for months and months to come- and the wind- Oh! the wind...)

You have a WALKING 9 month old. I have to sit and ponder that one, as my little um darlings didn't think walking sounded interesting till oh around 14-16 months. I LOVED this post, btw! I want so bad to SEE that little Daphne Ryn! I love that you can keep us fars-aways so up-to-date. And don't downplay that whole "graduation" thing -- that is huge, and awesome.
I can't believe she's starting to walk already! That's crazy!! Sorry about the snow though. That reminds me of an October of yesteryear when we were sliding down a hill in the Holy Tempo during an October snow storm... (I remember it was October because we had gone to some Thriller party or something on campus!) Post some more pictures of that cute baby, woman.
(Will you be going through Utah at Christmas? Maybe it will finally work out for us to see each other!)
I am so glad to hear all of this news (except for the colds and the snow, of course). I have been working on a little something for you two for Christmas. That same little something that I have been working on for you like forever. But it is definitely getting closer to finished! We are excited you guys are coming for Christmas! It's gonna be fun. Hopefully I will be more fun at Christmas than I was in July. Miss you!
