Happy Monthday...

 Happy Eight Month Birthday, Emmy!!

What have you been up to lately?!?

I feel like you have grown a lot this month! Your little face is getting so round and I love it! You are just like your daddy (and momma) and love to eat! You still nurse 4 times a day and also have fruits/veggies for lunch and dinner. You can not eat enough "puffies" and I think  know you would eat table food if we would give it to you! We may venture out and try some small soft foods like peaches and bananas this month, but I'm scared and I don't want you to be old enough to eat! You still wear 3-6month and 6-9month clothes and are in a size 2 diaper. I think you weigh around 16-17 lbs but your next check up isn't until next month.

Your hair is getting so long!! Which also makes me very happy because it means that you now wear a "pony tail" almost every day! Last week I even put your hair in pig tails and my heart melted. Your daddy has attempted to "fix" your hair a few times but hasn't quite mastered it yet. I love that he tries so hard to get you dressed and dolled up. 

Your personality is still so sweet and happy. You are not much of a napper these days, but that's okay because you are so easy going. You sleep from about 7:30pm - 6:30/7am (thank you!!). 

You haven't gotten any teeth yet but that's okay because I LOVE your toothless grin!

You are on the verge of moving. You roll over until you get to where you want to go and you also do this little "pounce" stance where you lean onto your hands and stay on your knews just looking at something. You can get frustrated sometimes because you haven't quite figured out how to move forward. You "scooch" backwards and just think that you are so big! You can go from laying down to sitting up all by yourself and you are so proud of that new little "trick". 

You are dying to be able to play with Radley! You just follow his every move and giggle and laugh whenever he is near you! He loves to make you laugh and gets so excited when he is around you. (sometimes too excited and we have to remind him to "be easy")

You make all sorts of fun sounds. Your noises include "ma ma", "da da" (neither in context -- well maybe mama), "a", "o", "gah", and more. You blow raspberries and bubbles and your newest favorite noise is
to "smack" your tongue onto the top of your mouth. Too cute!

We just can't believe that it has been 8 months since you joined our little monarchy! 

We love you sweet girl!! So so much!!
