OK, so I couldn’t decide which photo was cuter.  Notice how she has the same look on her face in both?  Well, she makes that face pretty much 99% of the time now – soooo funny!  We just hope she outgrows her ‘piggy face’ by the time she reaches middle school.  🙂

There is something poignant about the 9-month milestone.  Perhaps because she has now been a living, breathing human being for longer than she was in the womb.  I now understand why people say that having kids is a selfish act:  Lilly Grace brings us joy like we’ve never experienced before each and every day.  She is a fearless, busy bundle of smiles and love.  Can you tell we are proud of her?
