Depintor Family: Ceci is 9 months old!

Our baby girl is nine months old! She has been out as long as she was in! I dont know what seems longer the pregnancy or her first nine months of life... Her first nine months have been a lot more fun than the 9 months of pregnancy!

Sunday August 12th was Father's Day here in Brazil. Ceci got Daddy a new watch. We had our typical lunch at Leto's parents and took a nice family photo with everyone! Its hard to get all of the Depintors to stay in one room for more than a few minutes!

We have had a lot of birthday parties and a baby shower to go to. Our average weekend here includes at least one party (birthday or otherwise) on Saturday, and then Sunday lunch at Leto's patents followed by soccer watching at our apartment. I'm not gonna lie, sometimes it gets old, and I long for an adventure or two once in a while. Hopefully as Ceci gets older we will deviate from our routine a little!

We took Ceci to her 9 month check up last Friday. She is almost 11 kilos (almost 25lbs) and 75.2 cm (29 in) long. She is over the curve for both weight and height but she is proportional (along with her giant head) so there is nothing to worry about.

Ceci has been sick for the last 2 weeks. It is only in her nose, but it has been pretty bad. Last night I only got about 3 hours of sleep because she couldnt get back to her deep sleep. We are hoping it goes away fast and her sleeping gets back to normal. Another reason she is up so much is because she has discovered how to pull herself up in her crib, and she LOVES to do this! If she wakes up a little and rolls over she wants to pull herself up, and then wont go back to sleep if I just leave her in the crib. So i have to take her out and get her back to sleep. Not fun! She is adorable, standing in her crib, even when it is 3 in the morning. She always has a smile on her face!

The weather here in Sao Paulo has been amazing for the past 3 weeks. It makes we want to go to the beach, even though I am FAR from a beach body! My over indulgence in California has been harder to shake than I thought it would be. Probably because instead of working out when Ceci is at Leto's parent's, I am catching up on missed sleep :-/

Leto's 34th birthday is tomorrow. He is not much of a birthday person, and when I say not much I mean not at all. We have a 1st birthday party to go to (big shocker, its saturday and we have a party to go to) and then I think we will find a nice restaurant to have dinner at.

Here are some recent pictures!
