Eight Months

Hazel,

You are eight months old! Such a big girl. You really are getting more fun every day. You move all over the place, getter braver by the minute. In the past when crawling, you would pretty much stay where you could see us, but lately you have been venturing out around the couch and into the kitchen. You still love following the animals, but I think Junie B. has figured you out and runs when you get close. You have also started to stand up while leaning against the ottoman. Such a mover.

 

You are talking a ton. Daddy is pretty sure that your official first word is "Dada." He does have a point, since you say it all the time, and yeah, maybe you look right at him (or a picture of him) when you say it! You are eating a ton of new things: sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, pears, apples, cantaloupe, prunes, green beans, rice cereal and oatmeal...to be exact!

 

You are still such a happy baby girl! You smile and laugh all the time. You have really developed an opinion of your own. You have realized that when you screech or growl we get you what you want, mostly food or a binky!

I'm a big girl and can climb up on my chair! Oh yeah, and I have such long eyelashes you can see them in my shadow on the wall!

I finally got a great picture of you doing your plank position. So stinkin' cute!

 

Happy eight months...in fact, it's been the happiest eight months!

We love you!!

Mommy and Daddy
