Lara at 9 months.
Where do we begin? She stands, squats, and cruises. She says "uh-oh" and "yucky" (frequently, with good reason). She even took a step (although Meg was the only witness and was sporting a high temp at the time and was possibly delusional. You should still believe her).
She empties the dishwasher and then climbs onto the door to search for water.
As youngest, she inevitably gets the role of infant in all plays put on by her siblings.
She frequently succumbs to the lure of Henry's food bowl. We respond with distractions nearly as hazardous.
She adores stuffed animals, babies, and dogs.
We love her and can scarcely remember our quieter (and cleaner) house without her, 9 months ago.
