The Ladner's: Ladner Update

Christmas was amazing. New Years too. We left the baby with my sister and stayed out until about one. It was nice having time to just be tj and I once again, I'm really learning to enjoy and appreciate having "us" time. Without Rae. That doesn't mean we don't SERIOUSLY MISS HER though! She popped two more top teeth in and on the 2nd we took her over for her 9 month check up (sad face) and realized she is pushing her third too tooth through!!! 3 teeth in a matter of a week, poor baby! She will now have her cute bottom teeth (2) and 4 on top!!!! She weighed 16lbs 7oz and 26 1/2 inches long! She is getting so big!! On Saturday the 4th she pulled herself up to a toy and stood on her own!! Luckily we were both right there and got to see it and take pictures. She is such a fast army crawler and gets wherever she is wanting to go, but this last week she has started crawling on her knees some too!!! We finally finished her nursery. (We hadn't even bought her a crib yet!!) procrastinating to extreme right there I tell ya. Thank goodness Santa brought one and one night tj and I hand painted a beautiful tree on the wall and put her crib together! She is now on night 3 and we are loving it. She looks so cute laying there. Every time we go in to get her after a nap she will be standing up holding the side and giggle and giggle when we walk into the room!! It's the most adorable thing ever. It's amazing how fast time is flying by!! Tj and I are coming up on two years of meeting (which we were basically together from that night on). It seems so long ago, yet doesn't feel like two years should have already flown by! He is the most amazing person. His patience, kindness, and love towards Raelinn and I is so indescribable. He is such a wonderful husband and I am so grateful I have him on this journey through life as a spouse. That man can still give me butterflies!!!!
