Braelyn ~ 8 months

Happy 8 months sweet baby girl! Just like I say every single month, you are getting more and more fun and sweet as the days go by and I just adore you to pieces!

ahh....this sweet little grin!

You are still my BIG girl...weighing about 20 something pounds. We go to the Dr later this month, so we will know for sure then. You are in size 12-18 months clothing...size 4 diapers.

 Look at that belly!

 

Your cleavage here is ridiculous! makes mommy jealous ;)

Mommy finally got you a new carseat and we are just waiting to it to arrive in the mail any day...Thank God because my back can't handle much more of carrying you around!

 "Mom, I am WAY too big for this seat!"

You love sitting up in your stroller or in the grocery cart when we are out shopping because you are so nosey and love to see everything.

Shopping at the mall

You are just so fun and happy all the time. Always smiling, babbling, dancing and singing...just loving life! Still drinking mama's milk and eating anything you can get in your mouth. I have started giving you some table foods lately just to taste and your recent favorites are donuts and thin mint girl scout cookies ;) And FINNNNALLLLY...a tooth is finally breaking through!

Yummm...thin mints!

Still no crawling, but you are a little more active when you are on your belly. You can do a complete circle by scooting and can get way up on your arms but haven't quite figured the getting on your knees part. With the way you are standing so well, I wouldn't doubt if you walked before crawled!

We are sooo tired of being locked in with all of this cold, yucky weather. So ready for the warm weather to come back so we can get out and go on walks and enjoy the pool! I plan to get you in swim lessons soon, which I think  you will love because you love bath time. Especially when Nolan takes a bath with you, you squeal and splash water all over it.

He is still your little buddy and you want to do and play with everything he has. I love how much you two adore each other...I hope it continues that way in the years to come :)

Just playing some big kid games...

 

and jumping in the bounce house!

 

You love to play patty cake and peek a boo. You can dance and snap your fingers on cue. You say dada, mama, baba, and Heeeyyyy. You love everyone who you see often, however, get a little nervous if someone you don't know very well tries to hold you. You are definitely mama's girl. You could be sitting and playing just fine, but the moment you see me you start whining for me to pick you up (and of course, I do!).

High Five Baby girl...and Happy 8 months!

I love you little lady!
