8 months old!

Yes, Hannah is 8 months old today. She's starting to lose that "baby" about her, but each age we move into has its own fun about it. She is definitely a busy girl these days-
  • She is getting up on her knees and really starting to rock. She's even starting to move backward. I'm amazed how far she goes when I lay her down on the floor. We are definitely going to have to start baby-proofing the house very soon.
  • She has rhythm :-) Well, I don't know if I'd go that far, but it's not uncommon to find her bouncing along to music. She really seems to like her children's nursery rhyme CD and Christmas music.
  • You can see she's filling out. I put her on our adult scale, which I'm sure isn't very accurate for her, but it showed that she was at 15 lbs! I can definitely feel it when I'm lugging her around the house!
  • She loves games - Patty Cake, Peek-a-Boo, and drop and fetch in particular.
  • She seems to have developed a bit of an attachment thing lately, especially when she's on the tired side. Sometimes I set her in the living room, and when I walk out of her site she screams bloody murder! You'd think something was seriously wrong, but as soon as I walk over to her, she stops screaming and raises her arms up. Although this is somewhat flattering, we are certainly not going to be getting into this little routine!
  • Her favorite toys are plastic blocks. She loves to bang them together. When she's done with that, she chews on them.
  • Her bottom 2 teeth are so close to popping through. I can't believe they're not in yet. Seems like they've been hanging out there forever! Until then, the drool continues...

Hannah is such a good baby. It's so much fun to watch her grow and change. She's really becoming her own person. We're so excited for all that lies ahead. A child truly is the biggest blessing.

She's such a cutie! She looks so happy all the time. Hey, that attachment thing...it lasts a really, really, really long time!
