8 months in....

It's hard to believe that my baby girl is 8 months old already. In the beginning it didn't seem to go as fast but that was probably because I was sleep deprived and trying to figure out how to parent two kiddos. It now seems to be flying by. Lil is such a sweet baby with a cute little personality that we are learning about more and more each day. Here are a few of her favorite things:

• Waves hi...if you ask her to say hi she'll put her hand up and down quickly and smile...too cute!
• Knows her mommy, daddy and sister by name
• Be bops to music
• Pulling open drawers and trying to get what's inside
• Starting slowly to pull herself up
• Loves to do push-ups
• Does a combination of the "army" crawl, hopping herself on her tummy, rolling over and scooting to get around a room
• Likes to drink water from her cup
• Learning how to feed herself finger foods, not always successful but fun to watch her try
• Says "Daaad" and looks at Kyle and "Mooom" and looks at me
• Has one tooth
• Has her own way of signing "more"...it's more like gimme
• Bangs two objects together (likes to make a lot of noise)
• Plays peek-a-boo
• Drops toys off of her booster seat and watches them land on the floor (and then sometimes gets frustrated when those toys don't automatically get put back onto her tray)
• Has clapped a few times
• Loves to stand up and push off with her chubby little legs
• Takes two naps (sometimes only one)
• Has a smile that lights up a room
