8 months and oh so cute

August 26th was my 8 month birthday. I celebrated by spending the day with my Marms, Pops, and Jojo (Mommy and Daddy had to work that day :( ). So far, being an eight month old rules. I can do lots of new things, and I only have to take two naps a day now. I'm not crawling full speed yet, but will take a few crawls before deciding that I would rather sit back up. Here are a few of my "stats"
* I go to bed at 7:30 and wake up from 6:45-7:00. Mommy liked it when I went to bed at 8:00 better, but she likes to see me before she goes to work.
* I am eating stage 2 foods twice a day, for breakfast and dinner. I eat every bite, and usually want more.
* I weigh 21 pounds
* I can stand up while holding on to something by myself.
*My favorite toy is my Monkey right now, I love to chew his tail and drag him around with me all day. I also love playing with Kitchen utensils.
* I can say "dada" "hi" "Mama" and "dog" but not on demand.
*I wave bye bye and clap while saying "yeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh" on demand.
* I play peek-a-boo
*I crack up laughing every time the ABC song comes on my Baby Einstein table.
* My favorite books are "Baby Faces," "Snuggle Puppy," "Where's Spot?" and "Butterfly Kisses." My mommy couldn't figure out how to underline the books, so she incorrectly put them in quotes.... haha.


I am into everything.... Here I am playing with bags, and torn paper from Colin's birthday.
Story time with My Marmee is my favorite!
I am a big girl drinking out of my sippy cup. Water is yummy!
My little cousin Joli and I are getting to play together lots while our mommies work. I am teaching her all kinds of new things.
I am still biting my lips.... I have all four of my bottom teeth, but mommy thinks I am working on my first top tooth!
Look at me! I'm standing up all by myself!

Grass

One of my favorite pass times has become playing in the front yard. I love to breathe in the fresh air, see cars driving by, and pick grass. My pincer grasp has developed nicely, so those slippery little blades of grass are easy to pull out of the ground.
Once I choose a few special blades, I examine them carefully.
I like to show mommy what I found, she's always so proud of me.
After a hard ten or fifteen minutes of grass picking, I lay back and kick up my feet.
It truly is a hard life :)
