8 Months Old

Mailey baby is 8 months old. Can anyone believe that? I was thinking back to last Valentines Day and realizing I only had 4 months left to go before she came. Now only 4 months until she is ONE. ONE. Oh my word! At the doctor we so frequently visit, she weighed 18.12. I think she might be slowing down some from crawling.

Some new adventures:
-Crawling everywhere. It is so weird to find her in the kitchen with me or out of her room in the hallway now.
-Pulling up on everything...tables, your leg, the wall, her crib, and even trying in her high chair.
-Smashing and crashing from pulling up. She has had many owies lately.
-Dancing! Anytime she hears music, even in the background, she starts to bounce up and down. It is too cute!
-Jumping! She finally learned how to jump in her jumper thing. Maybe it is not the greatest of achievements because she nearly launches out now.
-Chokes and dies on puffs. Cannot eat them at all. We will keep trying!
-Got 2 teeth! Great except for the horrible snot/coughing/wheezing virus she acquired at the same time. And yes, she has bitten me. OUCH!
-Has started to make the "puh" sound when the dogs bark. So crazy because Makenna did the same thing. She will stand up when I'm holding her in the chair, look out the windows, and mouth, "puh, puh, puh."
-Looks outside when we say "outside."
-Rolls her tongue. She is fiesta baby.
-While trying to teach her where her hair is, she instead grabs mine when I ask her. Not sure if she gets it yet, but it is funny!
-Loves the baby on the YoBaby yogurt.
-Says the sound "mamama" but not about me yet.
-Must be force fed all her spoon food. Only opens her mouth for the first bite. Never again. We just shove it in, but she is nowhere near eating enough baby food.
-Finally, after much therapy, she loves her bath again. Whew.
-Has pulled up, grabbed a toy out of her bins, and just stood there holding onto nothing a few times. No walking, please.

Here is a collage of her little life so far...in no order...I'm not that smart, people. I love this age and stage, and am trying to savor every second of it!
