sweet baby girl

It's been a while since we've had a baby in the kitchen sink! I just couldn't resist posting this picture of the Gulford. Many of you know her and have given her cuddles....she's our little lump of sugar we've been taking care of since October. She's nine months old now, and ALMOST ready to crawl. I'm so not ready for a crawler, but it's coming fast. I will have to really whip my housekeeping into high gear. You may be wondering why I call her "the Gulford". This nickname came from....you guessed it...Pete. He began calling her the Gulford early on....."can I feed the Gulford?" "Let me hold the Gulford." Anyway, we're kind of a nickname family, so it stuck. It has recently morphed into "Gulfie". I know, not the most cutsie/girlie nickname. But nevertheless..... Anyway, we absolutely love this little girl. Each of the kids just loves her, and she loves it when they play with her. Having her at our house has been a total joy....
