8 months!

Our little baby sure is growing up!  8 months old, I can hardly believe it! 

Here are her stats:

• She doesn't go to the pediatrician until 9 months, so I'm not sure exactly her weight and height. Somewhere around 17 lbs I would guess.
• On the verge of crawling. She gets really frustrated when she wants something outside of her reach!  She has just started moving her little knees as if she is crawling, but she's not there yet.  Sort of 'swiming' on the ground.  Very soon we will have a crawler on our hands!
• I gave her a few little bites of chicken the other night, her first meat!  It's a whole new eating world out there now that she is 8 months old.  We bought some Gerber puff type finger foods for her this weekend - she's learning how to put them in her mouth.  I made her ground turkey and rice baby food yesterday and she loved it!  
• 3 bottles/solids feeding per day + 1 night time bottle before bed. Haven't found any food the girl doesn't like yet.  She is such a great eater and we are soooo thankful!  
• Not that interested in the sippy cup yet.  Nor does she care to hold her own bottle.  *sigh*
• Starting to cut her 2 front teeth on the top.  Soon she will have 4 teeth :)
• Wearing mostly 6-9 months clothes, and a few 3-6 months that still fit.
• Sitting up in the bath tub now instead of using the bath sling that came with her tub. She is starting to enjoy playing with her bath toys!
• Ba-ba-ba and da-da-da are her favorite 'words.'
• Likes to shake her toys that rattle.
• Very fascinated by her shoes when we put them on her (which is not too often). She can't stop looking touching, and tasting them!
• Smiles and laughs all the time....such a sweet, beautiful girl!
