9 months

Well, so I am a little behind!  Sorry... I have been so busy!  I am not sure if I have told everyone, but I will be starting my new job on May 9th!!!!  I am excited, scared, anxious, nervous, and happy all at the same time.  I will continue to be doing research, however, I will be running a research company!  WOW... 

Anyways my baby, can I really call her a baby at this point?, turned 9 months two weeks ago.  She is getting so big and is so busy exploring everything!
Favorite things to do: 
-open and close all doors and cupboard doors
- bully Olivia at daycare (steals her toys and sits on her)
- loves to be outside, but WILL NOT touch the grass
- claps her hands when she hears music
 -pulls herself up to standing position
- loves to eat
 -loves to play toys with mom and dad and anyone else that will give her attention

Hope you all enjoy watching Ryah grow just as much as we do.
