8 months

I love this picture! You were doing a "cheese" face :)

Happy 8 months! Wow- time flying by. This month you have become such a mover and groover. You started crawling right after 7 months. It melts my heart how when I walk into the room you get the biggest smile and crawl towards me. You love to pull up in things. You can go from sitting to crawling, back to sitting. I must say you can do whatever you please- such a strong and active little thing. You are still a fabulous eater and will eat anything and everything- you also want it fed to you in a hurry. Sometimes your daddy moves a tad slow (imagine that) and you kick your legs and make noises for him to pick up the pace. You now eat cherrios halved and love them. They keep you very quite and occupied in your highchair. You also got your first tooth! We wouldn't even know you were teething because you weren't fussy or anything. That brings me to how happy, go lucky you are. You are so easy going and rarely ever cry or fuss. You get more compliments that you are the best baby and we couldn't agree more (but of course we are bias). You still absolutely love bath time and hate getting out. You could splish, splash forever with your bath toys. You love your play room and exploring with all your toys and eating them.

You have taken an interest in your video monitor. You gran it and pull it into your crib all the time! Your daddy keeps re-attaching it and changing where he puts it but you still manage to grab. You pull up in your crib and terrorize your bumpers. Oh and how could in forget, you love to throw all your paci's out of the crib.

You took your first trip to New Jersey to see you great grandmother and Aunts, and cousins. You decided that you were too excited to sleep on the plain rides so you instead played. We had a blast spending time with everyone and you were awesome and stayed on your schedule. Your GG is a major shopper and went over board buying you things and your cousins were also very generous. Needless, to say we came home with an additional 5 large boxes of goodies (and that was only your first Christmas).

You got your first virus- the hand, foot, and mouth. You got a very mild case of it but it was still no fun with the blisters in your throat.

You are still nursing like a champ! Mommy wants us to make it a year- and I know we can do it! Although you have become a baby vampire with your new two front bottom teeth.....something mommy is trying to get you to stop doing.

You are super happy when you see daddy or me. It's so sweet because when you get excited you kick your legs back and forth and rock your body. It's so sweet!

You are loving lady more and more! You crawl after her and always try to pet her. When she gives you kisses you open your mouth- it's so funny (and a tad gross)
