8 Months Old Today

Today my little girl is 8 months old!

In some ways the time as flown by and in others it hasn't. I'm so grateful for how much she's grown. Just 5 months ago we were wondering when she would learn to sit, let along crawling. Now she can sit all by herself, go from sitting to crawling and back again, and CRAWL. I'm so proud of her. I know that some people would be like that's normal for this age she's suppose to be starting that. Well, from her starting to get really behind just a few months ago to being at or ahead of the norm, That's great to me!

She learned today that if she stands on one foot and reaches really far she can reach N on the couch and chair. She really enjoys this when he's eating, cuz he tends to put his plate toward the edge. N on the other hand isn't really enjoying this new game, well at lest when food is involved. M manged to get some rice and peas today, which she loved! When food isn't involved they love this new game...M tries to reaches and touch N and N tries to push her hands off him....Don't worry he's really good, he doesn't really push her it's more pick up the hand then move it back to the edge of the couch. It's quite entertaining since they are both laughing up a storm.

M's hair is starting to get long. I now HAVE to put a hair clip in it everyday or it gets all in her face and she's sitting there trying to push it out of her way. This is really funny when she's trying to crawl cuz she'll wipe the hair away w/one hand at the same time she's moving that same hand to crawl. So she ends up falling, and looking around like what just happened?!

She still looks so much like her daddy even though when I'm looking at a picture of her I see a little of me. I look at them and think that looks like me. It's crazy! I think it's her expressions. We all know there is no dening that she looks like her Daddy with those blue eyes and cute little nose.

The girl LOVES her brother. She will not go to bed at night unless he's in bed(either will he). She is always trying to crawl after him to play with what he's playing with. When N's watching his Tom & Jerry before bed and laughs at the TV so does Ma cuz she thinks he's funny. Those two crack me up sometimes. The other night, I laid them down for bed and about 10 mins later I hear her laughing and giggling, so I go check on her and N goes running to his bed. He was making faces at her and playing. It was so hard to yell at them cuz they were just so cute playing together.
