My baby girl is 8 months old today. She.is.a.mess!!!! Emmy Rose, you are very strong willed! You are probably going to walk before you learn to actually crawl. You have got to be the fastest army crawler I know! LOL...The other night, after bath, Breck was acting silly and acting like he was going to get you. So you literally jumped out of my arms, cracking up, and started army crawling as fast as you could. I died laughing at both of you. You are chasing Breck everywhere in your walker. I think you think you are older than you are. Here are some things you are up to: * lbs (I know this because I took you to the doctor to check on your ears. You have been grabbing your left ear for 5 days straight) * likes to hold your own bottle and feel in control (I have no clue where you got this personality from) * eats any where between 4 and 6 ounces of formula (8 on very rare occassions) * eat 3 meals a day on most days (I'm pretty sure you're done when you start making raspberries with your mouth and you blow food all over me!!!!) * doesn't like anything with texture (yogurt melts, cheese puffs just made you gag the most dramatic gag I have ever seen) * did a little better with mum mums * I think you've been pretty cranky at daycare...I don't really know what's going on there? * I think you may be teething again....drooling like crazy and kind of fussy * Pulling up to kneeling position to get into a toybox, and trying to pull all the way up but immediately falling and about break your neck * loves to give hugs (you grab hair and bury your head in but I really think its just your way of giving hugs) * when I pick you up from daycare you are very excited to see me. Somtimes you cry but I think its like oh my goodness my momma's finally here for me and sometimes you just smile and give me the biggest slobbery kisses ever. I like it when you do that rather than cry. The crying makes me feel really bad that I have to work and you have to go to daycare. * Becoming a momma's girl! You definitely like to be with me and have me hold you. You will pretty much go to anyone but are quick to reach back for me. * size 3 diapers still * 6/9 month and some 12 month clothes, 12 months are mainly in the pants. You must have some long legs! We love everything that is going on with you right now. We just wish our house was built and things could slow down a little so we can enjoy you and Breckie. * Breck.... *Blames everything on Jack W at school *only having a few accidents with potty *loves soccer and basketball with dada *still coming in to sleep with us in the middle of the night *asked him what he did at school one day: we played in the kitchen...oh yeah...what did you make...peanut butter with Jack W...who ate your peanut butter...Whitney - i thought this was funny. I don't know if it was true but you can have a conversation with you and it's too cute sometimes.
