8 MOs

The baby is 8 months today.  Wow, time is going fast.  Here's her little update:

• practicing her high vocals often
• scooting on her belly (the "military crawl")
• getting faster at it every day
• exploring EVERYTHING 
• puts her hand up like she's waving (or high-fiving)
• smiles for the camera as soon as she sees it (i think she thinks it's a peekaboo game)
• loves cheerios, applesauce, apple bites, rice cereal mixed with any fruit, pumpkin from the can (thanks hutsons!), squash and ice cream!!!
• does nOT like carrots, green beans, or peas--like daddy
• goes backwards in her walker
• loves to be outside
• napping only a little at a time (doesn't want to miss anything, i guess)
• 2 big teeth on bottom, 2 coming in on top
• working on drinking from a sippy cup, but not yet understanding the gravity factor
• talks to pictures of herself or at her reflection in the mirror
• brings JOY daily
