8 Months





Our happy girl is 8 months old! She is changing everyday - latest milestones include:

- crawling! she is fast and into everything. She is much more curious than Bennett was and there have been more than a few finger sweeps in the mouth after various small toys.

- pulling up on things - she loves to be upright and will use any available vertical device to get there (including people). She's taken a few steps along furniture but fortunately hasn't explored beyond that.

- clapping and dancing - she's got an ear for music and will do a little shimmy and shake when the radio is turned on.

- sleeping through the night!!!! Two days before I left for my first overnight away from her she decided she could go without nursing in the middle of the night. And she has been doing it ever since - minus a minor setback related to an ear infection requiring extra snuggles.

- she's becoming more verbal - can get out a distinct "mama" and "dada" and something I swear is trying to be Bennett. Lots of raspberries in between.
