Evelyn at 8 months

Oh my gosh. 8 months? EIGHT? Where on earth does the time keep going? Can I hit pause for just a little while?

This was a big month for Evelyn Grace. She can now officially sit up, crawl, AND (drum roll please) pull up to standing along couches, her crib. If there's something to pull up to, she'll do it. Two days ago she crawled over to the bottom of the stairs, looked up and pulled herself up to the first step. That's as far as she could get, but I'm sure it won't be long before I have to start barricading them.

She has a mouth full of teeth now. Four on the top and four on the bottom. She's a pretty good eater as long as she's in the mood for it. If she's even the slightest bit tired though she won't do anything but nurse or take a bottle.

She's become extremely opinionated and LOUD lately. If the kids are being noisy, she'll pitch right in squealing and screaming or babbling. She likes to say, "Dadadadadada," and "Abababa." No "Momma" sounds yet no matter how much I've been trying. It's okay. She is 100% a momma's girl, so I can't complain.

Some of her favorite activities include: finding the tv/playstation cords, knocking down DVDs, chewing on paper, being tossed up in the air, bath time (which is SO much easier now that she can sit up!), eating (slobbering on) those baby biter biscuit cookies, and squirming in mommy's arms.

She does not like: being tackled by Ally, oatmeal, being put down on the floor when she's tired, or staying still to get her diaper changed. Other than that, she's a very happy and fairly easygoing baby. She's makes my life so happy and I love her to pieces!!
