8 Months and Cuter Every Day!

 Lindsay turned 8 months old this month!  She is 19.2 lbs and getting cuter by the minute. :)  She loves people and going places to see the "action" -- meaning she's the perfect shopping buddy, has a ball at the park, and can't get enough of restaurants and grocery stores!


Here are a few of our 8 month accomplishments:

- "spins" and scoots backwards all over the place (no forward crawling yet, though)
- tries to feed herself with the spoon and ends up with more on her face than in her mouth
- LOVES visiting family (Grandma and Grandpa, and Lollie, Pops, and Aunt Abi)
- started veggies and fruits... so far, the favorites are peas and squash
- started shaking her head "no", but only to imitate you doing it
- still chews on EVERYTHING with no teeth to show for it
- loves to feel textures, especially different fabrics... quite a few times, we've found her on the edge of the rug entertaining herself with the different feeling of the rug vs. the wood floor
- favorite toy: teething ring
- wears 6-9 month clothes and size 3 diapers 

Some fun 8 month moments:

Her favorite spot to feel the rug vs. wood floor!
We got to see Aunt Abi at the CPHS Kick-Off Pep Rally (not sure what that is on the picture, I think it's from the flash)

Now that Mommy's back at work, L's back staying with Grandma during the day. :)

Not really a fan of carrots the first time around... they grew on her after a few tries.

Probably better to wait until we have a tooth before we try steak....

She liked squash from the very beginning!

Getting excited about our upcoming visit to see Mickey!
Sweet on sweet potatoes

We took a day trip visit our alma mater, and of course we had to stop by Mommy's old sorority house!

Getting excited about bananas
So, as you can tell, we have yet to meet a food we don't really like... she even gets excited about carrots now that we've had them a few times.  We're thankful she's already a good eater!  She is so much fun, and we are constantly amazed at how lucky we are to have such a great little baby in our lives.  We love you lots, baby bird! :)
