Our little Sunshine

How can I not be happy with this pint sized ray of sunshine living in my house? Brinley is almost 9 months and her personality remains cheerful and sweet as ever. Here's an update on the latest and greatest with little miss happy : )
Since January 27th She has had back to back ear infections. She was treated with antibiotics for three of them. She finally broke the chain last week and escaped having to get tubes put in her ears! Despite some night wakings she has still been remarkably pleasant through all this.

If the earaches weren't enough, she has also finally decided to break her first tooth! (better late than never right?) Teething has brought out her drooly slobbery side and we see a lot more of her tongue but it's good to know that she does indeed have teeth under those gums.

She's not crawling yet, at least in the traditional way. She is quite capable of getting anywhere she wants with her super inchworm skills, but she just kind of likes to take her time inching from place to place and I guess doesn't feel hurried enough to actually crawl. She does great in the tub though and takes baths regularly with Teya. In fact, Teya now refers to the right side of the tub as Brinley's side.
Her hair is really starting to come in on the top and it's totally out of control! Even when I wet it and comb it down it still ends up spiked out in several places.

And finally, she LOVES music and will "dance" anytime she hears a song with a beat. When she's sitting up the dance consists of her rocking back and forth and side to side with a big smile on her face. When she's on all fours she rocks on her hands and knees till she gets tired and then collapses to the floor and does the floor rock 'em dance (see video) It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Anyway, here's a little clip to demonstrate some of her moves. Enjoy!
