8 Months

5.17.12

Isn't she just the cutest thing ever!  James hates when I leave slobber on her face, but that is her stage lately (and forever, my kids are like bull dogs) and I love it!  She loves to be super cheesy and likes to show off all of her 6 teeth!  She's gunna have big teeth like her daddy I think.  What you are up to this month:

• 6 teeth
• planking like crazy.  you have the strongest arms and abs and can hold yourself up forever.  you hate being on your knees though.  I don't blame you with the carpet we have.
• you eat everything.  there hasn't been anything that we give you that you say no to.  You have 4 bottles a day and 3 meals with real food a day too.  You eat your big dinner and then you want some of what we are having.  You are a pig!
• You could stay in the bath all day.  You love to lay down on your tummy and splash and put your face in the water.  You are already quite the fish!
• You start clapping when you want to play patti-cake and when I am about to say "throw it in the oven" you get so excited and giggly and then throw your hands in the air
• You love love love to play peek a boo and when I say hide you either burrow or throw a blanket over your head till I ask where you are and you show your face and laugh!
• Your wave for bye bye and hi are different.  For hi you wave side to side and for bye bye you open and close your hand.
• You still are in size 3 diapers, but they are starting to get snug.  You wear 6-12 month clothes but a lot of the pants are getting to be cropped pants and you are starting to need 12-18 month tops or else your belly hangs out.
• Your favorite toy is anything your brother is playing with.  You love all of his toys and none of your own.
• Lately you go to bed between 7 and 7:30 and have been waking up between 9-10am.  You take two 2-3 hour naps during the day.
• You think you are so funny.  You love to throw your hands and head down while making a "shh" sound and then start laughing.  You'll do it over and over and just laugh and laugh at yourself.
• You love looking in a mirror at yourself
• you love babies still.  you get so excited to see your little friends at church and just want to grab them and kiss them and talk loudly to them.
• you only kiss daddy and brady.
• You don't like being thrown in the air and spun in a circle.  But you love going high in the swing at the park and hanging upside down.
• When daddy comes home or even just in the room you freak out with excitement.  when he leaves the room right after he gets home from school you cry.  You definitely prefer him to me.  And you think Brady is the funniest person around.  He makes you laugh the hardest.
• You say mama, dada, and baba for bottle and lala and shhh.  you are definitely a babbler and I love it!
• You cluck your tongue
• you are obsessed with your bunny and it goes EVERYWHERE with us.  You use that and your paci to go to sleep and cuddle up on your side.  It's so sweet!
