8 Months Old!

Wow am I getting big...or atleast that is what mommy tells me :)

See my new shoes?? I have two pair now :) The ones in the picture are my purple ones with butterflies on them :) They are so cool, I even have matching socks!

So the new things I can do now...lets see

I can sit up with out support. I like to topple over though so I can crawl around.
Oh yeah I "crawl" Mommy calls it the one armed army crawl, but I still can get from point a to point b with little issue.
I also am mommy and daddy's little vacuum cleaner. If they miss something it goes right into my mouth. So far mommy has pulled some memorably things...like hershy kiss wrappers and carpet bits from the cat tree. Oh and clear plastic once...which took her three tries before finding it. I also got my first taste of chocolate donut from some crumbs that were on the floor, and think during this last playdate I got my hands on a pb & j sandwich. Won't they learn i'm QUICK :) Mommy won't let me have any MORE peanut butter or chocolate though...she says I still have to wait.

I also feed myself very well now :) Infact tonight I ate spaghetti for the first time. Some other foods i've tried are...steamed carrots, sweet potatoes, potatoes, banana, pineapple, apples, and turnip. I didn't like the turnip very much, but the rest I liked alright. Oh I also like rice. I ate a french fry once too when we ate at Denny's with Uncle Tom. I still get my puffs and "surf boards". I can also hold my own bottle now too :)

I'm done with my shots until i'm 12 months old. Which I like to hear...those suckers hurt :\

I like to say "ba ba ba" and "da da da". I don't understand why mommy and daddy get so excited when I say "da da da"...do you know?

Mommy says I'm a big girl now...so I don't get to use the sink bath tub anymore. I now take baths in the big bath tub, which is so much fun. I like to splash (sometimes) and scoot from one end to the other.

I'm still getting the hang of the walker...I can only go backwards.

No teeth or even signs of teeth yet.

The doc said at my last visit...I'm in the 60th percentile for weight and 70th(?) for height. I'm 18.? lbs. Everything looks good on me. The doc has no concerns.

I con't to out grow my clothes...I'm trasitioning from 6-9 to 12 month now...which is good since I have alot of summer 12 month clothes already :)

I think thats all folks...Did I miss anything?

Using my Walker :)

I'm really getting the hang of this walker. Check me out!

I LOVE that bear!!!

Aunt Carol bought Great Grandma a special bear to cheer her up when she was in the hospital for awhile. Grandma Dineen played it for me when we were visiting in the hospital. It was SO cool! I loved it to pieces!

RICE!

YUM!

What a mean mommy...

Check out what my mommy did to me in this video!



Ha I showed her...I didn't even care, much!

We look alike :)

Mommy every now and then looks at me and sees alot of Kaitlin in my face. But it's hard to capture it on film to share with you all. But she thinks she finally got the right picture. We are sisters afterall so it's only natural that we should look alike :) I guess that means Kaitlin looked alot like Daddy too...maybe when they make me a little brother he will look more like mommy so she doesn't feel so left out...hehehehehe.

Visiting Relatives

So we spent some time north after my great grandma passed away. I got to see some of my mom's relatives that we don't get to see that often.

Like Uncle Travis :)

He flew in from Wyoming. Mommy missed out on getting a picture of him and I in his blues, but we got a few pics here and there :)

Here's one of my waking him up one morning :)
I also got a chance to see and chat with my Auntie Kristi :) Since Uncle Travis and her were using the Cam on the computer :)

We also made a few trips to see my Great Grandpa Henry. I'm sure he gets lonely without my Grandma around now. He was always pretty excited to hold me, I'm the first baby he's ever held! Can you believe that! But I'm cool with it :)

I also met Great Grandma Henry's friend Olive. She lives at the nursing home too. She is also pretty sad that Grandma isn't around any more. :\

We did a quick visit with Great Papa :) He was super excited and happy to see Mommy and me.

We also visited with my Great Grandma Trombley and Papa Reggie :) It was fun too since Reggie hadn't holded me yet and did this time :)

After all that visiting you would think I would be sleepy, but NOPE. I still had enough to smile pretty for some pictures Grandma Herne and Mommy had done at Kmart :) Thank you Grandma for the pretty dress :)
