Eight Months Old!

It's hard to believe my sweet thing is eight months old. And giant. She's still a meager 15 pounds, give or take two ounces, but she's a mighty 29+ inches long.

She is currently:

• Giving hugs and sloppy kisses


• Eating solids for breakfast and dinner, as well as her weight in Puffs


• Preferring rolling and "walking" (with someone supporting her) to the trouble of learning to crawl


• Very interested in textures, from suede to embroidery to bald heads


• Wearing clothes ranging from 3-6 months up to 12 months


• In love with Tim's socks


• Despising bath time, unless Daddy is there to play Peek a Boo


• Preferring girls to boys, and preferring long haired girls to short haired


• Thrilled that her favorite toys (her feet) are different every day...sometimes bare, sometimes sock covered, sometimes shoe covered, sometimes knit slipper covered, and her favorite, sometimes sandal covered


• Slowly being introduced to formula. This is not being well received


• Saying "Dada", "Nana", "Hi" and "Blah" indiscriminately


• Working her one tooth...it's almost halfway in now, and she knows how to use it (ouch)

(PS - her adorable rainbow chevron dress is from GAP outlet, and Papa got it at a steal for $4 - only to discover that the romper that came with it is size 18-24 months, so I had to sub a Carter's one in so as not to expose her Blues Clues diaper)
