It has hit me that in a couple of months we will be celebrating Bug's 1st birthday.  I still remember being pregnant with her at this time last year so its hard for my mind to wrap around this.  It also seems that she is such a big girl at this point.  My little newborn baby disappeared before my eyes almost instantly.  She still has that baby smell though and sometimes I just sit and breathe her in.  I'm going to soon miss that. Anyways... sappy rant over.

She pulls up on everything. Loves to eat just about anything you put in front of her and thinks she has to feed herself. Her favorites are sweet potatoes, green beans & rice/ noodles.  Finally spit out MaMa and yells at me to get my attention.   Has started pulling all her toys out at once then decides she's over them.  Constantly sticks out her tounge and blows bubbles. Loves to swing and play outside.  Still loves Patty Cake and Peek a Boo.

we went through all these emotion in a nano second... total meltdown when she realized how messy she was

its a production at this point to get her to sit still for monthly pictures

her 1st Easter and she had the flu along with an ear infection

8 Months

Those month titles get harder and harder to type as Bug gets older.  She seems to be doing new things almost daily so its getting hard to keep up with but were having a ball watching her discover the world around her.

She is officially sitting up by herself.  Inch worming it across the floor.  Talking to you in the most serious of baby conversations.  She can't have her diaper changed without holding her bed time lotion [and she studies it like its the most interesting thing in the world]. Officially got her 2 bottom teeth so as a result we have moved on to big people food i.e. waffles, whole strawberries, apple slices, whole peas and carrots.  Runs around the house in her walker, literally.   Thinks she has to have whatever you have including appliances and food.  Has a new found love for Sadie and laughs when she enters a room.  Speaking of laugh she has perfected her fake laugh and has learned to say "huh" and "hey"... not so literally but she mimics us saying that.
