Our Baby Girl is 8 Months Old!!

Sweet Emery you have changed SO MUCH this past month it is unbelievable.  It seems like you are such a big girl now.  Here are some things you are up to:

- You have two teeth.  You cut your bottom right tooth first, and then your bottom left the next day!  You have been a champ for the most part, except for just a couple sleepless nights, but you’ve never been fussy during the day.

- You get up on your knees and rock back and forth, and sometimes you will crawl one or two crawls. 

- You are so strong.  You will get up on your hands and feet with your butt up in the air.  It is so hilarious!

- Just tonight you started saying “ma ma” consistently,  you have been saying “da da” for awhile.  Even if people say you don’t know what you are saying I think sometimes you do :)

- You are still a great eater.  I have overcome my choking fear (sort of) and have started to give you some table food.  You love turkey, puffs, cheese and oranges.  And those are pretty much the only things we have tried.  You will still let me feed you baby food, but you would rather feed yourself…unless you are really hungry in which case you become VERY impatient and will grunt and squeal until I feed you.

- You pull up on lots of things.

- Everyone still tells us how pretty you are, and what a sweet baby you are.

- You talk with your hands just like your mama :)

- You like to show daddy what a great kick you have…all.the.time.  He is SO impressed :)

- You love anything and everything electronic.  You always try to sneak and get our remotes and cell phones.

- You wave to anyone and everyone, we will have to teach you about strangers when you get older because right now you’ve never met a stranger!

- You’re starting to be a little clingy to mommy, but its not too bad most of the time unless you’re really tired or your teeth are hurting.
