I can hardly believe that our baby is already 9 months old. This stage is a fun one and I’m loving all the new things she’s learning. Her personality has really begun to shine through as well. She picked up crawling very quickly and then mastered cruising on the couches shortly after. She can now pull herself up anywhere she pleases, even in the bathtub! She’s also earned a few bruises since learning to travel in the house on her own.

I took Gwen’s 9 month pictures on our deck but quickly learned I now need an assistant with my own kid to do pictures. She was way more interested in the pumpkins, leaves, dirt, bugs…you name it. So I asked if Scott’s mom would like to help me. Columbiana’s cemetery has some really pretty spots and I know that sounds weird but it’s actually very unique. I brought along an old rocking chair that Scott’s grandma gave to me to use for pictures. I also got some quick shots at White House Fruit Farm with Scott. The leaves are absolutely perfect and it was a bonus that we got blueberry donuts.

I always have good intentions in writing a meaningful post but time gets the best of me and life goes on. Really, most of you just scroll down to the pictures and skip the text I’m sure. My sister-in-law has yet to meet Gwen in person but she has shown lots of love towards different moments I’ve captured. Who knows what will happen with this business of mine, but I am thankful I know how to use a camera and take pictures of my kiddo.
