Eight Months!!!

Rhealee turned 8 months this past Thursday. Time sure does fly when you are having fun!! She is very entertaining and keeps us on our toes at all times. At 8 months:
*you have 3 teeth. Two on the bottom and one on top (with a 4th working its way through).
*you have been crawling for about 3 months
*you are pulling up on everything and walk around the edges
*you love to drink juice from a sippy cup!
*you love to feed yourself food.
*you love veggie dip crackers, puffs, Mum-Mums and pancakes
*you can say "mama" and no matter anybody tries to tell me I know that is what you are saying
*you love to play with baby dolls, esp. Taryn's
*you love to squeal and chase Taryn around the house
*you have several favorite toys including the "dancing" music bug, your linking cubes, and the dump truck you can push around.
*you sleep through the night
*you wear size 6-9 month clothing
*you love to be free to roam around the house

At 8 months:
*we call you the "goat" because you put everything and I do mean everything in your mouth. Here are just a few things you have tried to eat so far: a quarter, a goat head, an earphone cover, paper lots and lots of paper, Polly Pockets, if you find it on the floor you put it in your mouth!

*you have gotten your first goose egg on your head and very large bruise. You tried to sneak out the back door at Jennifer's and fell face first onto the back porch. You cried like crazy but bounced back very quickly.

*you got your hand and p.j's stuck on a sticky trap and instead of being scared or upset you found it funny and proceeded to wave it around in the air and squeal.

*you babble and talk all of the time and you are just a funny girl.

I could write pages of the things you do that amazes us everyday. Who knows what you will do next? You want to keep up with sister so bad and try very hard, I think this is why you are growing up so fast. You have a wonderful big sister that you have to keep up with.

You love your juice and get very excited in the evenings when you get to have a little!! You are a very messy eater and love to try and feed yourself! You love your food especially anything orange and fruit!

Sister put this hat on your head and you found it very funny! You didn't want me to take it off of you and so we just left it on the rest of the evening!

Sister let you try a Cheetos and of course you loved it!! I have to watch sister because she thinks you need to try everything so she is always trying to put food on your tray!

We love you so much and enjoy watching you grow and change everyday!!! You are such an amazing little thing that keeps us on our toes and constantly laughing. You are so smart and so advanced at such a young age and it is truly amazing to see what you learn everyday!! We are truly blessed to have you in our lives and are thankful that you are healthy and growing! Thanks for being a part of our lives and teaching us how to love a little more everyday!
