9 months old! Oh my!

I know everyone says this when they have kids...but we really can't believe she is growing up so fast! Karina is 9 months old today. Tomorrow she will go to the pediatrician for her check up and next round of shots. She is an adventurous little eater (check out Marie's new food blog: http://mammascooking.blogspot.com/), loves to read, jump and play in her wading pool. She is slowly adding some new sounds to her repertoire. In addition to "Mamma" she is saying "baaaa".


This was a contender for the 9 month photo, but Tim wanted a picture with her hair flat after she had taken a bath :)


Karina loves her pointer finger. She is always pointing at things with it and putting it in her mouth and her ear.


Just too cute for words :)


Sitting on Daddy's shoulders.


Eating her first biltong :) mmmmm...a great South African delicacy.


Karina and Daddy reading a book.


This past weekend there was a festival at the Nordic Heritage Museum about a block from our house. Karina was more interested in eating her foot than enjoying the live Norwegian accordion music :)


Punk rock baby!


Karina v. The fan


Karina wins!
