8 Months Old


This month she's learned how to officially crawl on all four. She is also pulling her self up on everything, and learning not everything supports her weight. So lots of head bumps. She loves to read stories she'll sit in my lap for a good 15 minutes and listen, and look. However, she does have her favs. It makes me laugh when she grabs a book rolls onto her back, and turns the pages looking so intently at the book... she'll talk while she does it too. The funniest is when she rolls over and puts her legs in the air for a long period of time. It looks like she thinks she relaxing. She can also cruise around holding onto the furniture. She has liked to sneak into any crevice of the house we may not want her into. She also discovered the little door stop things, and loves to flick them. She thinks it's really funny.

Her bath time is one of the highlights of her day. She kicks her feet and pretty much squeals, and I seriously can't get her in quick enough. She swims around the tub like a little fish. She kicks her legs when she's on her belly, and her bum is shaking it's too funny. I don't know how she does it. She wanders into the bathroom throughout the day, and pulls her self up to the tub, and then looks at me like mom let me in. If I don't put all of her toys in the tub she knows, and wants to get them out of the bag. She loves it when I blow dry my hair. I sit on the floor, and she has to be right next to me. She likes to touch it, and the cord. Her other favorite thing is to pull herself up using the toilet to help, and then pull stuff out of the trash. She dangerous, and funny. If we tell her to bounce she'll do it usually. She'll still say ma ma da da, and waved bye bye. She eats finger foods, peas, squash, sweet potatoes and rice are her favorite.

She is sooooo cute! I love how you write down all these things about her. Every month is different and it's so great you have all this to remember. Yes! Drew still falls asleep while eating all the time. It is so stinkin' funny. He usually does it at lunch after we've played hard that morning. haha! We have the same chair that you do. I love it. Works really well as a booster too when they are ready to sit at the table. :)
