Happy 8 Month Birthday, Buggie!

Happy 8 month birthday, Bug!

You are such a big girl now!  You look less and less like a baby and more and more like a little girl everyday.  We are so proud of you and feel so very blessed that God placed you in our lives.  We couldn't have asked for a sweeter, more perfect child.

You are hitting milestones like crazy anymore - multiple ones at a time!  You are growing up so fast.

At 8 months old, you:

• Have been sitting up on your own, unassisted, for roughly 4 months already.
• Love your veggies, fruits and cereal.  You have a definite distaste for pureed meat.  I can't say that I blame you.
• Crawl like a mad woman.  You are FAST.  Every day you prove that mommy and daddy are waaaaaaaaay behind on their babyproofing.
• Can pull yourself up to standing in multiple places.  The scariest one is in your crib.  We need to lower your mattress before you figure out how to get those chunky little legs over the edge.
• Weigh 19 lbs!!!!  And I love every ounce of it!
• Have 4 teeth.  Big stuff going on.
• Went to the pediatrician for your first sick visit ever yesterday.  You have been sooooo super healthy and we couldn't be happier.
• Love your teachers at school!  Daddy says you always have a big smile on your face when you get there and your teachers think you are great!
• Always have a great attitude and a big smile on your face.  You are the happiest little creature.  It is awesome.
• Have been baptized!  It was a great day and you did fabulously.  You didn't cry at all during the ceremony.
• Are quite the talker.  And a loud talker at that.  You get that from  your daddy :)

I can't wait to watch you grow into the awesome person you are to become. 

I love you.

Mommy :)
