8 Months (yes a little late)

Oh Lydie Loo Hoo,

You are the light of my life,  a ray of sunshine on a dark cloudy day, you make me smile when I feel like death, you make me cry tears of joy when I think my wacky hormones are finally under control and you just make me burst at the seams EVERY.SINGLE.DAY!!

The beginning of the crazy photo shoot

You are at this crazy fun age right now (do I say that every month, it feels like I do) but it's so true! This month  you have learned a lot and are growing quite the spunky little personality.

What a diva

Where to begin??

You are pulling yourself up on stuff, we were so proud of you when you first did this that you would have thought we won a lottery scratch off but NO you were just so determined even after those attempts that ended in you landing in the splits position or swinging around the Einstein bar like a monkey landing on your face, you finally did it and you haven't stopped since. Mom's leg, Dad's leg, Bentley's ears, couch, new leap frog table, baby einstein jumper and your CRIB!! That one gave me a heart attack when I walked in. I thought you were going to throw yourself over the edge, so your crib was quickly lowered to the lowest setting (so we don't have to mess with it again) Crisis averted.

This is her, I'm running on no good nap time all day look :)

You aren't quite crawling still, you do the downward dog (you'd be great a yoga), you do one heck of a GI Jane alllll over the place (wood floors make you go faster), you do kind of an inch worm use your face thing, you almost crawl in place because your knees are moving but you haven't gotten the hands and the knees without falling to your stomach yet. Doesn't hold you back from getting where you need to go though.

 You are trying and loving more foods. Chicken, turkey, mac and cheese, blueberries, watermelon, apples, corn, and peas. Still lovin that baby food too, you get so excited when you see me get it out and open it up for you.

She can't believe she's 8 months either, and she loves her tutu!!

You are trying to wave now, it's kind of a flap your arms like your going to fly away but it's so darn cute.

You put your arms  up in the air like a touchdown when we say " sooooooooo Big" darn cute one kid, gets em every time.

You have started to watch t.v. a tiny bit, makes mommy getting dressed while you sit on the bed a little less frightening because you actually pay attention for more then a split second but you would still rather play and scoot all over the place (which is fine with me!)

Pretty much sums up our 8 month photo shoot

You have started to find a soft spot for your daddy (yes you are mostly a mamma's girl) but the other day you were sitting in my lap about to fall asleep and you reached over and climbed your way into your daddy's lap and fell asleep. OMG melt my heart why don't ya!! Love watching you with him, you guys have so much fun! 

You experienced:
  -First Snow
  -First Christmas
  -First It's a Wonderful Life viewing
  -First ringing in of the New Year (you even made it til midnight...trooper!) I think it was all the cute boys   fighting over who got to hold you though, you flirt.

It was such a fun month and one I will never ever forget. You make me so proud to be your mommy everyday and I love you soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!

Mommy :)
